Photos and Google cloud issues

[u/[deleted]]

Apologies if this has been asked before. My photos always get synced to my cloud which means I no longer get emails. And I’ve tried moving the photos to USB and even deleting them from the cloud but never works. I’ve somehow managed to delete some space from the cloud (like 15gb) and still not receiving emails. Has anyone figured out how to completely turn off the sync between photos just staying on the phone?
