Hello,
the new gallery on Samsung does not suit me compared to Google Photos, mainly because I have been paying for and managing storage on Google Photos for several years. Now with a new mobile phone, the new Samsung Gallery backs up everything to Drive Microsoft 365, where there is 5 GB, and of course, immediately after syncing to the new mobile phone, it tells me that everything is full and that I need to pay for new storage. Which I don't mean to. In addition, I find Microsoft 365 storage terribly confusing in general.
Please don't you know how I can use the Google Photos storage on the Samsung a65?
Thank you. TO.
