[Bug] Everything is uploaded as storage saver

[Zelectic]

On latest update 0.3.5 everything is still being uploaded as storage saver even though it’s switched off.

That's True I have also checked it

it just says "storage saver". download the uploaded file and check the file size. it should be the same as the original photo.

i can't reproduce it, it may be tied to what you have set on your google account maybe?

I have original quality set on google photos, although when downloading the file again it’s same size as original so could be actually just a text bug?

I think it is a text bug. For me it says "storage saver" on phone as well, but if I open the same photo on pc, then it says "original quality".

looked into it more, the file is uploaded in original quality. with count against storage quota off the upload identifies as an older pixel so it doesn't use your google storage, and the google photos app labels those as "storage saver". the web version and the file size show the real quality, which matches what you all saw. if you want it to use your storage and show original quality, turn on count against storage quota in settings.

0.3.6 explains this in settings and the diagnostic report shows exactly which profile each upload sends (settings → support → create diagnostic report → generate report → share). if something still looks off, attach one here
