Like everyone I’m struggling to keep my data on Google drive below their limit. This is fine. I’ve been gradually deleting photos from my drive and transferring them to my own storage.

I managed to clear up about 2GB of space that away, but recently, a few weeks ago my consumed storage jumped up. I cannot figure though what is the file that tis taking away my data. It could be the I switched phone, but I don’t see any big sync folder/file that I should delete here.

Any idea what is happening?

(Note: I’ve stopped sharing my photos with Google drive)

    I recently cleared out a butt load of photos that should’ve had me in the clear for months but the next morning I was out of space again. ‘Device backup’ had taken it all. I disabled cloud backup in my phone, later reenabling it, and it was fine.
