After offering sync between Google Photos and Google Drive for long, Google has now decided to end the sync service because the whole thing is too “confusing” for users. In a blog post, Dan Schlosser and Jason Gupta, product managers at Google wrote, “We’ve heard feedback that the connection between these services is confusing, so next month, we’re making some changes to simplify the experience across Drive and Photos,”

The changes according to the blog post will take effect in July and separate the two services, simplifying the system in the process.

Photos and videos you save to Google Drive will no longer automatically be copied to Google Photos. The same rule applies when you save to Photos. More importantly, file deletions too won’t be a problem as they will not sync between the two services. This means that a particular photo deleted in Photos will not be deleted from your Drive account in case they happen to be the same one.

Good news. At last atleast Google under stood problem.
If photo gets auto synchronise then you will always need inrenet. If you delete it get deleted permanently.
If it gets stored only on Drive then you need lot of balance internet data to download again these photo. & apart it get suddenly disappear from phone when you want to see it appear when you want delete it.
Linking of Gallary with Samsung Cloud store giving same problem. It needs to be updated accordingly
