How to get galaxy gallery to act like iPhone gallery?

[Android Central Question]

On iPhone, old photos automatically move to the cloud but I can still see them in the gallery and if I try to open any of them it gets downloaded on demand. How do I get the same behavior on Samsung galaxy 8?

P.S.
I can't get more Samsung cloud storage.

Well, first you need enough cloud storage to have room to move the images there.

Google Photos does what you're looking for, but it's a different cloud storage location.

Welcome to Android Central! The way Google Photos works, you can automatically back up your photos to your Google Photos in the cloud. The photos will remain locally saved on your phone as well, unless or until you choose the Delete from Device option for a specific photo, or use the Free Up Space option in Google Photos (which will delete all locally saved photos from the phone that Google Photos knows have been backed up to the cloud). The photos will still be easily accessible from the cloud as long as you have a web connection, but if you want to download the photo back to storage, that's easily done as well (although it isn't automatic).

Only if set to do so.
