Yesterday I installed the Google Photos app to sync and backup all my files/photos etc. I started this and a small rotating icon appeared in the bottom right hand corner. When I click on it, it shows what is being synched/backed-up. I started it around lunch-time yesterday and it is still going on now! There are over 23,000 and this keeps increasing. So far just under 17,000 files have been synched/backed-up and I presume this will carry on until everything on my PC is done..

Is this normal? All I wanted to do was sync my photos and I certainly do not have over 20,000 photos on my PC.

I didn't select anything so looks like its uploading everything.

Oh well, I guess there will be a huge amount of unwanted stuff synced now - into tomorrow and possibly Tuesday we go then...!

Cheers
