Can they also stop harassing me to turn it on? The placement of the accept button is idiotic too because it's directly over where the normal nav options are. I accidentally turn it on all the time, need to frantically stop the backup, and then log into the desktop site to delete the photos it grabbed. It's extremely annoying.

Agreed. Last week or so it's been better or hasn't bugged me but for months it would pop up when the option turned back on. I only add photos to albums to share, i do not backup all my photos and I'd love for it to just work how i want it to.

What kind of photos would cause such a panic reaction?

... actually never mind, I don't think I want to know.

It doesn't cause panic, but I don't back up my photos on my Google drive because I don't want to and I don't need to. So every time it forces me to accidentally turn it on, the sooner I stop it the fewer pictures I need to individually delete from my drive. It's a massive hassle that shouldn't happen.
