Hello

I want to use One drive for all my photo back ups.

I am using Google photos but i am running out of storage.

My Microsoft account has 1TB with it on One drive.

What is the best way to turn it off as i still use Google mail

Thanks

@beenz Were you actually wanting to know how to turn off Google Photos sync & continue to use Gmail? That's how I read you question, but if that's the case, we seem to have gone off on a bit of a tangent here.

If you're syncing photos from a phone, then under Photos Settings you can turn off the backup.
