New Delhi: Samsung Galaxy users are getting pop-up notifications to migrate their photos from Samsung Online, the company’s cloud storage. In addition, the corporation has issued a statement requesting that users delete their photos from cloud storage. If the user does not comply, the photos will be destroyed after a certain period of time.
The company had earlier issued a statement saying, “From September 30, 2021, Drive storage for Gallery Sync and My Files will no longer be supported by Samsung Cloud and your data will be deleted, as explained below. In addition – Plus. If you have a Premium Storage subscription plan, it will be automatically canceled with effect from August 1, 2021 and a refund may be issued to you.”
Contacts, calendars and photos are all backed up to Samsung’s cloud storage. The company has opted out of supplying Image Cloud storage and asked its consumers to download any photos saved in the cloud before they are deleted. However, users can continue to back up and sync their data, as well as restore contacts, calendar, and notes.
Users are being prompted to either migrate their photos to Microsoft OneDrive or download them all to their local smartphone, laptop or desktop. Even before the deadline, downloading data may cause the Samsung Cloud Storage to expire. Gallery Sync, Drive and Premium Storage subscriptions are among the features that will be discontinued.
How to keep your data safe
1. Integrate with OneDrive
Starting September 30, 2021, a user can link OneDrive to Samsung Cloud via OneDrive without automatic data transfer support from the device’s gallery.
However, depending on the country, carrier, and model, OneDrive integration may not be available. As a result, users are left with only the second option.
2. Download Samsung Cloud Image
Users will be able to download their gallery as well as the data stored in Samsung Cloud to their personal storage. OneDrive integration will not be available if you select this option. Additionally, the option to download to local storage will be available only till September 30.
