Samsung Cloud, One Drive and Gallery

[CWinkler]

I used to be able to sync my phone photos with my One Drive account just by opening up the One Drive app. Since the latest upgrade and change on Samsung Cloud to use One Drive, I have no idea where my latest pictures are anymore. Or how to find them out there. I've synced up the ying yang this morning, but they still don't appear anywhere I've checked on my computer. Windows Photos, One Drive Pictures or in the new One Drive / Pictures / Samsung Gallery folder. Anyone have any clues how to get to them from my computer?

I think I just resolved this ... went into Accounts, clicked on my One Drive account, then on Sync account, and the had to turn on Media Storage (photos go to an SD drive). Now they appear. Whew!

yes, occasionally when something updates you have to re-do things like that.

I just did the changeover of my Samsung account over to OneDrive, even though I already had OneDrive grabbing photos and synchronizing them. We'll see how all this goes.

I guess in light of everything evil Google does, I don't mind the Samsung-Microsoft alliance.

So I changed the Media Storage setting, and Samsung Cloud keeps changing it back. How do I make it permanent? My Samsung Gallery folder in One Drive doesn't have any of my latest pictures in it, even though it says things have been synced. I rely on One Drive for a lot of my picture posting, and now Samsung Gallery has 'broken' it.

Now that you say this, I don't even have a Samsung Gallery folder or album in my One Drive.

Nor are photos synchronizing like they used to with One Drive at all.

So, it looks like the answer is to undo it all and go back to One Drive syncing by itself:

That fixed my problem.
