Yeah, this is a deal-breaker for me as well. Why can't I selectively push my photos up? There are a ton of photos I would never want synced automatically (multiple shots of one thing where I'm going to pick the best, normal shot vs Instagram shot, screenshots from my phone, images saved from email or the web, etc).

Not to mention I can't get into the apps settings without letting it start to auto-upload thousands of pictures to check if it's going to do it over wifi-only or use my data.

Ditto. I signed in and realized what was happening, looked for options in settings... no dice. I tried to sign out, and then it was going to sign me out of BOTH carousel and dropbox, so I just deleted the app. I think you should at least have the option to choose whether you want to update your previous photos, if not more granular controls.

I like their concept of simple sharing of albums. I shouldn't have to sync every photo to use it, though.

It only uses wifi by default.
