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. ?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy note. Been having the same issue, until now I have been periodically deleting the folder in my onedrive full of pictures. It automatically makes a new one and refills every few months.

    I have the upload option turned off in onedrive settings as is mentioned in this thread several times but it was still syncing photos and videos which filled up my onedrive space fast.

    Today I found theres also a setting in your phone gallery that syncs to onedrive. I've now turned that off and hopefully it will now stop.

    There's a 3 dot drop down menu when in gallery>settings>top option.

    Never voluntarily connected iphone to One Drive. None of the recommendations have helped, most speak of settings and changes not available on pc, ipad onedrive app or pc. I cannot beat my phone upload to upload the photos to onedrive that I have put on my computer from an SD (a new step I had to add to try and circumvent this frustrating matter).

    I NEVER want my iphone or ipad photos to "sync" to a file in ONEDRIVE. I WANTED to choose from them to save in ONEDRIVE, but man, oh, man, this is costing WAY too much stress.

    Microsoft hasn't been too helpful in this regard. Having some password issues as well on one of my laptops; won't bother wasting anymore of my time with inept (or non-existent) "Microsoft" tech support; glad their authenticator works sometimes. I hope you get someone to offer good resolution.

    Same issue. There is no camera upload selection in OneDrive settings. It appears to have syncs 1000's of photos I have in Google photos. I want to delete them all only in One Drive and retain in Google Photos
