As we all know, As of June 1, 2021, Google Photo's free unlimited storage feature will be replaced with a 15 Gb limit for everybody. Even though it didn't matter that much (despite being incovenient), within a few a days, it will as storage is gonna be filled up with photos we just took as screenshot as it gets the same priority by the algorithm as a regular photo taken by camera, as both captures and screenshots are stored in DCIM in samsung's folder and google selects the DCIM as a whole when backing up.

This really needs to be sorted out as firstly, it's long due, and secondly, everybody has better things to do than go to google photos every 5 minutes to delete the unwanted screenshots that were automatically uploaded. 

N.B: there's a solution where you can rename some folders to confused the google photos algorithm into uploading the camera pictures only, but it creates a complete other mess. 

Please sort it out Samsung.
