Didn't Take Phill's Advice - Make Sure Auto Upload is Off

[mstrblueskys]

Basically what the title says. I have had the phone for one night of picture, or Zoe taking, at the Twins game. I took only 29 shots (only just because it's a new phone... that's a lot of shots otherwise) and when I logged on to Google+ this morning and had over 500 new pictures in my instant upload.

I'm turning it off. You probably should too.

Yea, it sucks because I do instant upload with my account mainly because if anything happens to my sdcard again (the first one in my S3 just randomly died) I can still have my pictures.

If you only took 29 pictures how did you end up with 500 photos in instant upload?

Zoes?

Zoes?

so it uploads every frame of the zoe as a picture? That is.... inconvenient.

if you use zoe, it takes 20 full res shots for each time you use it but you don't have to use it

HTC One's 'Zoe': The Picture That's Actually a 3.6 Sec Video

Yep - I had Zoe on so every 'picture' I shot was a 3.6 second video. And it uploaded the 20 pics and the short video. If you have a dedicated DropBox or something, it would work well, but the way Google+ is set up, it didn't work at all.

I have a 50 GB drop box, so space isn't really the issue, its going through that many pictures!

That's one the I don't like about the Google + app. Once you disable instant upload on your account, it should be that way across all devices. Every time I get a new device I have to tell Google + to turn off instant upload on that device.
