How to ensure pixel 8 pro stops backing up? (self.googlepixel)

Hi all,

I have backups turned off everywhere I can find the ability to do so on my pixel 8 pro, but am regularly (multiple times per week) getting notifications that my Google storage is almost full. Lo and behold, every time I check drive, I suddenly have a backup that I have to delete, again and again. Does anyone have any tips? It's really making me regret getting a Google phone, since I don't need my phone connected to my email.

Thanks in advance! :)

Log out of your Google account.

Use a work profile, and log into your Google account in the work profile. Then only stuff in the work profile will be backed up

You could alternatively install grapheneos and have full control of your experience
