I had around 5000 pictures in my camera roll(Lumia 540) which were automatically uploaded in my onedrive folder. Recently due to low space, I have transferred all my pictures to my PC. But my phone is automatically downloading from onedrive and syncing.  Even though I stopped syncing, I tried deleting pictures from my phone also. 

How to stop my phone automatically download the pictures from one drive. ?

    Hi, I also had this problem, and It was very annoying, but I fixed it!

    You have to make sure that your gallery isn't syncing to one drive directly.

    Even if you turn off the "Camera upload" setting in OneDrive it won't stop unless you also turn off syncing in your gallery settings.

    This image is an example of what the setting might look like. (It's an image from Samsung gallery settings)

    Hi, I'm not sure if you've received an answer to your query? I found the same only locating 3 dots in the left corner until I opened the onedrive app on my phone, I then clicked on my initials in the left hand corner which opened the menu folder with the settings option.

    However, I am still having problems unlinking my personal photos from my onedrive account? HELP.  My business email address is not selected and should not be syncing my photos, yet they are still updating.  Can anyone off any other help?

    Regards
