Galaxy S8 - How to backup/sync photos and videos

Samsung provides Galaxy S8 owners with 15GB of free cloud storage, perfect for backing up and syncing your photos between multiple Samsung devices. Here's how you set it all up:
  1. Open the Gallery app
  2. 3-dot menu
  3. Settings
  4. Samsung Cloud > ON
Now that Samsung Cloud has been turned on, you can further configure the way it backs up your photos/videos by tapping the Samsung Cloud (the words, not the toggle).

It's there you'll find options for syncing via WiFi (help save your cellular data plan), selecting specific albums you want to sync, freeing up phone storage by deleting photos that have already been backed up, as well as viewing how much free cloud storage you have left.
