I'm using Google Photos to back up my photo and video library.
It's set up to store data as "high quality – unlimited storage".
However, it's complaining about exceeding my storage quota in the Google One storage page:
Why is that happening?
Furthermore, everytime I launch Google Backup and Sync, it creates a folder under Google Drive called "Computers", where it adds all photos and videos. How can I add it only to Photos using the free space?
It seems that you can only backup and sync files to both Photos and Drive. Can't I disable the Drive sync?

This helped save some data, but wasn't a proper solution.
This is yet another solution. Very tedious to work with but is helpful. A proper hassle-free solution to compress all existing data and automatically convert it into high-quality data that doesn't count toward my quota, doesn't seem to exist at the moment.
Still it's definitely not the reported 4GB of data.
