You shouldn’t lose your photos just because Xiaomi Cloud stopped syncing them.
For years, Xiaomi users enjoyed a simple way to back up gallery images through their Mi Accounts. Buy a new phone, sign in, and your memories will be waiting for you in the cloud.
But that’s over now.
Xiaomi has officially ended its Gallery Sync feature, and that means your photos stored in Xiaomi Cloud won’t back up anymore. If you didn’t migrate your files, they’re at risk. Permanently.
Losing Photos Hurts
We’ve all been there. You open your gallery, and it hits you—photos are missing. That birthday moment. That sunset. That selfie with someone you can’t take another one with.
The worst part? You could’ve backed them up.
It’s not just emotional. If those images were tied to your job, business, or personal brand, you’re looking at serious consequences.
And while you search frantically through your phone, your laptop, your email, nothing.
That sting of regret? It’s a lesson. One we don’t want you to relearn.
Why Xiaomi Ended Gallery Sync—and What Happens Next
Xiaomi made the decision to discontinue its Gallery Sync feature. When I got the notification, I panicked for a second. But then came a prompt: migrate everything to Google Photos via Google One.
That’s right. Xiaomi now partners with Google to give you a smooth transition. Photos and videos go to Google Photos. Other cloud files move to Google One.
And here’s the good news: Xiaomi users get 3 months of Google One premium for free.
