By default, Google Photos is configured to make a backup copy of all the photos we take with our mobile's camera. But now that the space we have for image storage is no longer unlimited, this may not suit you too much. And in this case you will need to know how to stop synchronizing Google Photos In this way, only the images that we want will be uploaded to the Google service, although we will have to do it manual way. If you want to prevent images from being uploaded to the service that you have no interest in having a copy of, the steps you must follow are the following:
- Open the Google Photos app on your smartphone
- In the upper right corner, click on your profile image
- Enter Photo Settings
- Access the Backup and Synchronization section
- Uncheck the Create Backup and Sync box
From that moment on, the images you have stored on your smartphone will automatically stop uploading to Google Photos every time you you connect to a Wi-Fi network. What you will have to do now when you want to have a backup copy of an image is to upload it manually. This way you will use the service only for the photos that really interest you and not for all of them.
I don't want Google Photos to save my Android photos
If the situation you find yourself in is that I don't want Google Photos to save the photos from my Android, the solution is precisely stop syncing the images. Therefore, we would have to follow the steps that we have indicated above, and thus none of the images on your Android would become part of the cloud storage service. Or, if you prefer, you also have the option to sync only some folders. That is to say, that some of the folders that you have on your smartphone are synchronized, but others are not. Thus, you will have greater control over which images are uploaded to the service and which are not.
To do this, follow the steps above until you get to Back up and sync. But in this case you should not disable it. Scroll down a little more and you will see the option Backed up device folders There will appear a list with all the folders on your device in which content is detected image or video.And you will be able to select or deselect each one of them so that it is synchronized or not with Google Photos. Therefore, choosing which photos to upload and others not is quite simple.
How to delete photos from Google Photos and not from your device
Normally, when we delete a photo from Google Photos it is also deleted from the mobile. But there will be times when you need to know how to delete photos from Google Photos and not from your device.
As we mentioned earlier, you can choose to have some folders sync automatically and others not. Therefore, the solution so that if you delete a photo from Google Photos it doesn't end up disappearing from your device is to move it to another folder that is not synchronized with the service cloud storage. In this way, since the folder is not directly connected to Google Photos, you can have your images there without having anything to do with what is happening in the Google service.Playing with the folders that are synchronized and those that are not is a way to have a well differentiated storage of the device and that of the cloud.
Of course, remember that in order for you to access an image from another device it must be uploaded to Google Photos.
