Photo uploads now useless
Google Drive used to be my "go to" to backup all my iPhone photos. Sadly, I noticed with the new update there are some major flaws that didnt used to be there. First: I like using iPhones built-in photo editing features. I use them all the time because they are versatile and they allow edits to be made to a photo without downgrading the file size/resolution. However I noticed after the latest Google Drive update that if I upload an edited photo (say I made it black and white), Google drive will upload it in its original form without the edits. This is a HUGE inconvenience for me.
Second: it used to be the case that if I upload new photos to drive, it would maintain the title of the file as it appears on my iPhone. So before I could just upload photos any time and they would be alphabetized correctly and chronologically. Now, it uploads all iPhone photos with random titles, most of them titles "Full Size Render". What this means: if you try to upload new photos into a drive folder with pre-existing photos, you will manually have to rename any new uploads if you want your photos to be correctly alphabetized. This is time consuming and inconvenient.
I never had these issues before. Very disappointed with the new Drive version. I hope they fix this
