If you've ever owned a Samsung phone, you've most likely seen your device prompt you to back up your media to OneDrive at least once in the past. Back in September, however, Samsung removed its Gallery app's ability to sync with Microsoft OneDrive. Well, the phonemaker was likely cooking up another partnership behind the scenes, because it has just announced that its Gallery app can now sync with your Google account.
