    From Massimo Peca@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 12 19:45:00 2024
    Hello everyone,
    I hope I am in the right place to ask a question about using Google Drive.
    I often get an email message telling me that I have almost used up the
    free 20 GB available to me, yet I intentionally did not put any files
    there. So, I proceed to delete them, but after a few weeks the situation repeats itself.
    I've checked in the settings on the Google Drive website, but I can't
    find anything to clarify why files from my computer, phone or tablet end
    up in Drive.
    What can I do to stop this obviously automatic uploading of my files?
    What and where should I check?

    Thank you
    Regards

    Massimo

    There exist some crappy apps that automatically create backups on
    Google Drive, e.g. Google Photos.
    Check which files are being uploaded to identify the cause.
