How to disconnect LR and Google Drive

[shmuglak]

Hello,

I'm feeling extremely stupid asking this question but I cannot find a solution and it drives me mad. So, here goes. I've started to receive message from Google Drive that I'm getting short of space. After some looking around I have found that files from the Lightroom are uploaded to the Drive without any action from my side. After I remove them from the Drive, they reappear there after some time.

Apparently I have inadvertently modified some setting related to the backup in the LR, but I've no idea why and when and I cannot find any reference to Google Drive in the LR settings. I even cannot understand why only files from certain folder(s) are copied to Drive and in what order.

Drives me absolutely mad. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm using LR Classic 7.3 on Windows 10.

Thank you! 

Alexander

I think this has more to do with your Google Drive settings. There's nothing that I know of in Lightroom that would automatically export to Google Drive. I don't use Google Drive that much, but I noticed there's an option to download a backup and sync feature. Have you done that, and is that what might be functioning?

Thanks a lot! You've pointed me into the right direction. As it turned out, the Google Drive has backed up not the LR directory, but the SD card I have left in the slot. Go figure! Too many apps, too many setting....
