Help My google drive are 8 gs data in one night

[Jacqueline Campbell]

Thursday night I was going through my fills on my Google Drive. Kinda hiding some private things. Some how made 6 takeout zip files. Well Saturday I had to buy my monthly minutes with straight talk. So everything was renuied. I notice I had made them so I went to download one. Within I'm gonna say 30 minutes my phone peeped told me Data usage alreat so I stopped it. I have touched it. Ok using Google photos I have the setting for it to back up to my drive which does it every day. I have it yo use my data. Bc I've use Google apps (all) and straight talk for a year. These are my main back up. On my Data settings my Background data is Checked off for Google Drive. But last night Google Drive Used 7.51 giga of Data. In one night it done that and it's on background restriction. Y did this happen? How do I get my data back when it wasn't suppose to run?

Takeout zip files are backup archive files consisting of your various Google account services (mail, contacts, photos, etc.). You can download your takeout file to a computer or have it saved online. I don't think you need to save 6 of them, basically only the most recent one is important to keep.
Go into your Google Drive, delete those five older takeout files.
https://drive.google.com
Whenever you do want to make a backup on your Google account services, go to:
https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout
and pick which services you want to save (and exclude the ones you don't care to). And don't forget to delete older takeout files in your Google Drive. (I find it easier to do this kind of stuff on a computer as opposed to on my phone but that's my preference.)

I take a different route/tack/method.

I do not allow Google Drive to even know about my smartphone...
I save everything to a local PC and then erase what I don't want off the phone.

That way, our home DATA use is only about 1 gB/month, and all of that is just surfing

It doesn't appear that the OP has this luxury.
