The new Gallery Sync option allows users to connect their Google account directly to Samsung's Gallery app. Once enabled, photos and videos can be backed up to Google Photos and accessed across supported Samsung devices.

The feature uses the storage available through the user's Google account. This includes the standard 15GB free allowance shared across Google Photos, Gmail and Google Drive, as well as additional storage purchased through Google One.
Users can also select specific albums and device folders for backup instead of syncing everything automatically. Another useful addition is the Free up space option. After media files have been backed up, users can remove their local copies to recover storage on their phones. The backed-up content remains accessible through Google Photos.
However, the integration does not bring an entire Google Photos library into Samsung Gallery. Only media synced through the new Gallery integration appears within Samsung's app.
