1450649 2018-06-17 00:52:00 Hi all, keep getting a warning from Google drive saying my data limit has been reached. I checked and it was mostly photo so I removed them from drive and changed the settings that I thought told it to keep uploading my photo's, but the limit warning is back.

How do I make sure I'm not uploading all my photos? And..... how do I really clear my drive account, clearly I haven't been doing it right so far!

Many thanks Dave

1450650 2018-06-17 01:18:00 I presume you have "Auto Add" in Settings in Google Drive on your phone turned off?

This is found under Google Drive on your phone.
Select Google Drive
Select 3 parallel lines (Menu)
Scroll Down to "Settings" and Open.
Turn Off "Auto Add" under Google Photos.

I have had mine turned off since 2016 so it does work

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place......
