Good day, it's me who asked the question. Had to register to be able to reply. I've already disabled the google photos sync. I'll look into the samsung cloud sync. Wasn't even aware there's such a thing. I cannot tell how much is being uploaded since I can't really monitor it since it began uploading. Only notice it when my connection suddenly dies out whether gaming or just browsing. What other software should I look into that's uploading in the background. My sync is off in the drop down menu.
