Manage Gallery in Samsung Cloud
Samsung Cloud acts as the last line of defense for all your files in the Gallery. From formal photos to silly selfies, you can set the Gallery to automatically sync to Samsung Cloud. You can even restore pictures or videos that were accidentally deleted, sync individual albums, and access the Gallery from the web. Read on to learn how to sync and manage your pictures and videos.
Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider and software version.
Samsung Cloud is not available on Verizon phones.
Samsung Cloud may not be available depending on your country or carrier.
Turn Gallery Auto Sync On or Off
On newer phones, the Gallery app's Auto Sync feature is turned off by default. But you can easily turn it on, so all your photos and videos will be uploaded to Samsung Cloud. Just follow the steps below:
From Settings, search for and select Samsung Cloud. Touch GALLERY, and then touch the slider to turn SYNC ON or SYNC OFF.
Note: When Auto Sync is off, photos and videos that were already synced will remain on Samsung Cloud.
Sync Specific Albums in Gallery
Certain photos are more important than others, like family holiday pictures. You can select certain Gallery albums to sync to the cloud, and leave others just on your phone. Here's how:
From Settings, search for and select Samsung Cloud. Touch Gallery, and then touch Albums to upload. Touch the sliders next to your desired albums.
Note: When a new Album is created, photos and videos included in that Album will be uploaded to Samsung Cloud by default as long as syncing is turned on.
Delete Gallery Files from Samsung Cloud
If you have hundreds of photos or files you really don't need, you can delete them from Samsung Cloud any time.
From Settings, search for and select Samsung Cloud. Touch GALLERY, and then touch VIEW ALL. Select your desired pictures, and then touch DELETE. Finally, touch DELETE again to confirm.
Restore Deleted Gallery Files from Samsung Cloud
If you accidentally deleted a picture, don't fret. Items stored in Samsung Cloud's trash will remain there for 15 days. Just follow these steps to get your files back.
From Settings, search for and select Samsung Cloud. Touch GALLERY, and then touch Trash. Select your desired pictures, and then touch RESTORE.
Note: If you touch EMPTY TRASH or delete a file in Trash, the file will be permanently deleted.
