Google photos backs up screenshots in the camera folder and and they get backed up with all my other photos. Is there any way to change this? I don't want random screenshots clogging up my photo gallery.
Open Google photos, go to settings>backup and sync>backup device folders. Uncheck screenshots.Google photos backs up screenshots in the camera folder and and they get backed up with all my other photos. Is there any way to change this? I don't want random screenshots clogging up my photo gallery.
I use Google photos because of its unlimited backup space. As long as you upload 16mp or less. Can't really complain for free stuff.Am I the only one who can't stand Google Photos? Way too invasive and meddling imo. I deleted it and stick with the stock app.

Ahh, you are correct. I guess I was thinking if my other phones.That works on other phones -- on Samsung phones it puts screenshots in with the camera roll. That is the issue.

How is it more invasive then anything else on cell phones? Just curious.
It holds on to stuff I don't want or need, sometimes multiple times (Photos, screenshots), and is a battery drainer.
Hit the menu, choose device folders and hit the upper right on each folder to toggle backing up those individual folders or not. And on Pixels there is no size limit for backing up of photos or video.
The multiples can be removed by using a function. Battery drainer? You can set it to never upload except for on WiFi / when charging (that is what I do). It does absolutely nothing until I plug the phone in at home (when on WiFi).
Upload only while charging was removed a few weeks ago. I liked that feature alot so of course they quietly removed it in an update.The multiples can be removed by using a function. Battery drainer?
