The problem
Steps to reproduce Setup a new device with /e/OS and check after taking a few photos or screenshots.
What is the current behavior?
All data gets synchronized. This even if the user does not want the data to be synced.
What is the expected correct behavior?
User should get the option to choose what data is synchronized during setup. This is relevant since the storage space on default accounts is 5 Gb and with a new device users may be temped to test out the video and may end up syncing and filling up their entire storage space.
