possible to prevent camera uploads for a user?

[justinrh 260]

Is it possible to prevent camera uploads for a specific user?  I ask because if this gets turned on, I might get all 6GBs of the person's photos.  And, AFAIK, there is no way for the user to selectively upload, and no way to prevent uploads at all (except maybe delete "Camera Uploads" library?).

Hi, it's not possible right now but is planned for future updates. Thanks.

Yes there is, in fact, you can't even turn on the feature without selecting the folders you want to upload.

By "selectively" I meant per file.  Yes, I can choose which folders, but I can't choose which files.

And, if by default, all pics go into one folder, then there could be a lot of files uploaded.  (Because so many folks don't ever change default behavior or bother with organization.)

That is the option you had when enabling the library Selective or All.

Selective pops up when new images are available to add.  (close/relaunch app)

Was from iOS but will guess all devices have the same one time options.  Requiring uninstall/reinstall to reset this option.

Guessing is not good.  I didn't see these options on my Android.

True but this is a General/Windows forum not device specific so all questions have to be targeted if it is a device issue. 

But a fellow Android user would have to comment as I don't use them.  Still would assume there is something similar.

@ebrdoes Android have the same\similar options as iOS shown above when you setup camera upload?
