Microsoft normally offers just 5GB of free storage space, but Samsung Cloud users get free bonus storage for 12 months to ensure all their content makes the move. Just make sure you download your data by then, as Samsung will begin to delete Group 1 data starting on Sept. Download progress is tracked in the notification bar.
Note that you will need enough space on your device to store the entire download size. Also make sure not to cancel the download early, as it removes all downloaded files and you will need to restart the process.
Your other option is to download your Samsung Cloud data to your PC. This is a good choice for users with too much data to store on their phone, since PC hard drives are much larger, and you can easily move your downloaded files later to a USB storage device or another cloud service like Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud.
How can you for example download photos from Samsung Cloud to PC? If you do a search on the internet, you may find answers that are not entirely comforting. In fact, we often read that it is impossible to access the Samsung Cloud from a PC to view or download data from it. But it's not true! In fact, there is a solution to access and download photos from Samsung Cloud to your PC. Here are the details. Once the app is installed you will be able to log into your Samsung account and at that point you will be able to immediately view all the photos directly from your PC.
In addition to viewing the photos and videos you can also download them to your computer. All very simple and intuitive to do! Depending on how much data you have to transfer, this could take a while. Just wait for everything to sync over. Once it's complete, your notification will be gone and all your data will now be in OneDrive instead of Samsung Cloud.
This option to transfer data from Samsung Cloud to OneDrive will only be available until September 29, , or November 29 in some regions. If you don't want to sync your data from Samsung Cloud to OneDrive, you have other options. You could transfer your data to another cloud storage service, like Dropbox, or even download your data to an external drive.
You'll do this from the same place you would link to OneDrive, but instead of tapping Link to OneDrive , you need to tap on Download my data and go through the process step-by-step.
Once you've downloaded your data you can then upload it manually to whatever cloud service you want. If you currently have a paid storage service with Samsung Cloud that gives you more storage, that same storage size will be matched with OneDrive for a year at no extra cost to you. After that first year, you will have to pay whatever OneDrive charges for the amount of cloud storage you want.
A free OneDrive account typically gives you 5GB of free storage. So if you want more than that, you'll need to look at OneDrive's paid storage plans.
