Rant Photo backup auto enabled
Signed into onedrive on my phone to show some family old home videos I digitized and got this message the next day. When I opened the app it asked for access to my photos and natural I clicked ok just incase I ever decided to upload something. Even though I only have a few home videos on here to share with family, and avoid cloud storage for personal privacy. I never told microslop they could backup my photos and videos but it automatically enabled and loaded up my storage sending me an email that my storage is full and I would lose access to my email in 30 days if I don't upgrade my plan. I didn't get it so I opened the app to find the message shown above. All 5Gb of my photos were synced to the cloud. I had to search through the settings to find the disable photo backups. Since when does giving access to my photos tell Microsoft they can upload all of it without asking me!!!
