I'm an absolute Samsung aficionado & absolutely love it all! But there"s one thing that I think everyone could agree on would be A-MA-ZING to have and Super helpful! A way for pictures to be saved to a Cloud type thing.... (For example, how Iphone saved fotos to iCloud) I'm paying for extra storage with OneDrive and just would rather pay that with Samsung to make it easier. So basically, I want to be able to use the native gallery app but the pictures not be stored on my phones storage (they all be saved on a cloud) But you're still able to see them when going to send turn through somewhere (for example in messages, or socials, when your selecting an image to send)
Noooo, I don't mean backups. I'm familiar with setting up automatic back backups! I'm referring to the images being in the Samsung Gallery app, but not stored in the phones interal storage, rather it be stored on a cloud! Like what iPhone does
It is not currently an option, I'm saying it would be absolutely A-MA-ZING to have that added! I tend to take many pictures/videos, so it ends up adding to and taking up loads of storage on my phone.... (I only have 128GB) So it would be awesome to be able to have a feature like that! I pay for the Microsoft extra storage... and have to delete the pictures off my gallery to get the storage back... I'd much rather pay Samsung for cloud storage that was offered like this!
Samsung used to have cloud storage until a few years ago, but it closed it down and suggested that we use OneDrive to back up our photos.
They still have some cloud services to back up your device settings and to temporarily store images for transfer using Quick Share, but that's about it, I think.
Yeah... I've done some investigating, but that's it.... But I find it kinda redundant, we keep our pictures for easy access. But having to upload it to OneDrive for storage (then to save that internal storage, delete the picture off the phones Gallery) but when for you say your in messages and want to send said picture, you can't just click the plus sign and select it... You have to go into OneDrive & download the picture, just to be able to send it
Well, you can click the photo in OneDrive and create a link from the app and send that via text, email, or whatever. You don't have to download it, and the recipient doesn't need a Microsoft account either to view the image.
How to Create a Link in the OneDrive App Creating a shareable link in the OneDrive app is simple and allows you to share files or folders with others. Here's how you can do it:
Steps to Create a Link in the OneDrive Mobile App
Open the OneDrive App: Launch the OneDrive app on your device and sign in if you haven’t already.
Locate the File or Folder: Navigate to the file or folder you want to share.
Tap the Three Dots (More Options): Next to the file or folder, tap the three dots or press and hold the item to open the options menu.
Select "Share": From the menu, choose the "Share" option.
Generate a Link:
Tap "Copy link" or "Create link" (the wording may vary depending on your app version). You can adjust permissions (e.g., "Anyone with the link," "View only," or "Edit access") by selecting the settings icon or similar option.
Copy or Share the Link: Once the link is generated, you can copy it to your clipboard or share it directly via email, messaging apps, or social media.
Steps to Create a Link in the OneDrive Desktop App
Open OneDrive: Open the OneDrive folder on your computer.
Right-Click the File or Folder: Find the file or folder you want to share, then right-click it.
Select "Share": Choose the "Share" option from the context menu.
Adjust Permissions: In the pop-up window, set permissions (e.g., "Anyone with the link" or "Specific people").
Copy the Link: Click "Copy link" to generate and copy the shareable link.
This process ensures you can share files securely and conveniently. Let me know if you need further clarification! 😊
Yeah.... but that's still more work than just selecting it in the messages app... And just more inconvenient for both us and the receiver of the picture. Instead of the receiver just being able to just see the in chat, they've gotta click a link to see it
