Samsung Galaxy phone users are starting to receive emails informing that Samsung Cloud is turned off. What does it mean? Does something need to be done? We explain.

Samsung Galaxy owners will soon see - or have already seen - a series of emails from Samsung informing about the deactivation of the Samsung Cloud service. The exclusion itself is not new information - the Korean manufacturer has communicated plans to extinguish Samsung Cloud in 2019. Now, however, it is putting its words into action. What does it mean?

Samsung Cloud - what is it?

Samsung had an ambition to compete in the market of consumer clouds for data storage. In recent years, all Galaxy phones have been synced with Samsung Cloud by default, providing users with the ability to transfer data and photos to that cloud. Thanks to this, these are always available, even if the user loses access to his phone.

What to do after disabling Samsung Cloud?

Actually nothing. Samsung Galaxy phones on which the user has used Samsung Cloud will offer users the option of migrating to another cloud.

The Gallery, Settings and My Files applications have been sending notifications to Samsung Cloud users about the possibility of conducting for several months.

You can use it or ignore the offer. In the first case, selecting such a notification means opening a form with consent to transfer data from Samsung Cloud to Microsoft OneDrive. The entire removal will be carried out automatically and unattended, if the user agrees. This consent is not obligatory. Samsung Galaxy phones can also synchronize with the Google cloud without any additional applications. You can also use other providers.
