Xiaomi says it is shutting down MIUI’s Gallery Sync feature.
Xiaomi advises customers to back up their data to Google Drive.
There is also an option to download data directly to your Xiaomi device.
Xiaomi Cloud: Xiaomi announced the discontinuation of its cloud service in a big shock to its customers. The company is continuously sending notifications to its users that their data will not be stored on its cloud servers after April 30, 2023. MIUI Gallery no longer supports sync, so the developer team is actively recommending users to migrate their photo collections to Google Photos.
About five months ago, Xiaomi said it was shutting down MIUI’s Gallery Sync feature, and that users would want to back up their data to Google Drive, which is arguably a more secure and reliable option.
