My wife accidentally turned on Google Drive and it immediately uploaded every vid and picture on her system and almost immediately, ran out of room. Dahhh...(an estimated 50,000 pictures...;-)) We have been trying to turn the thing off, stop the continuous prompts to buy more room and clear out the account.
It is a slow arduous process and Google is busily backing up our deletes.
Well, all I can say is live and learn.

Sounds like ... Google. Collect everything, trash nothing. Make it so difficult to trash you will give up.
