I constantly disable sync for google +, google + photos and google +uploads. A few hours later it is enabled again. This happens in settings/accounts/google. My photos keep being uploaded to the cloud against my wishes and uses up a ton of data. I will take a test photo and access google photos with my pc. Every photo ends up in the cloud.
Another problem is deleting the photos from google + photos site. I delete them, see them in the trash but there are always about 10 photos related to my profile picture that i can't get rid off. No matter what i do those pics appear.
Seems like there are two ways to get photos to the cloud, back up and sync. I think my problem is with the sync vice the backup feature.
i simply want to have control about what/when photos get uploaded. Especially since its costing me money (data).
I have;
- Turned auto backup off in google photos.
- Set backup to wifi only.
- Gone to app mgr and cleared cache and re started.
- Deleted and re-installed my google account. Choose option not to auto backup.
Thanks!
