Any way to turn off auto picture upload when you send it over messaging?
I messaged a pic from my android to my email to edit. Instead of an attachment, it was uploaded and I got a link to an auto shared photo album in my google account.
If I'd sent it to someone else I'd have never known because I don't use google photos at all.
I understand saving bandwidth and trying to get people using account features, but no thanks.
My default is to assume anything uploaded will eventually be public via hackers or a misconfiguration somewhere.
- dingo_bat 9y agoHow did you send a message to your email?
- ourmandave 9y agoI took a picture with my phone and used the send option from the photo viewer with messenger. And entered my non-google email as the recipient. In the past it would send it as an attachment. =\
- dingo_bat 9y agoIf the messenger was your phone's default sms/mms client, sending email is a new trick for me! I just share to gmail or outlook and send it back to me. In outlook it helpfully tags these messages as "note to self". No google drive nonsense either.
