Yesterday, I got this notification that I had "Flashback" in Verizon Cloud.  How do I turn off notifications for this Flashback thing?

I want Verizon Cloud to only notify me when it is running out of space.

Thanks for the information, JimElek. With the Flashback feature, this is a fairly new feature to the Verizon Wireless Cloud service and currently there is not a way to disable the notifications. We greatly appreciate your feedback and will be lifting this issue up to the proper support for further inquiry and ultimately the ability to stop these notifications from being sent to your device.

JimElek, I absolutely understand the need to only have the necessities notify you about your Cloud activity. Flashsbacks are pictures that are stored in your Verizon Cloud that are at least a year old. Every 7 days users are presented with a Flashback, a collection of photos and videos related to a particular week in prior years. Let’s check your settings to see what options we have to limit the notifications that you receive. What’s the make/model of your current phone?

If the fix for this annoyance is not universal, please include the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V).

Thanks.

Tell me you're kidding.  What numbskull or pack of numbskulls forces an annoyance on millions of victims without a way for them to op-out.  It should have to be opt-in even, not be forced on us.  I'm baffled why a theoretically smart company would do this.

If we dump everything off the cloud and never use it again will this harassment stop?

For now, it seems to be all or nothing.  I just turned off all notifications for Verizon Cloud.

I am going to try shutting off 'Previews in pop-ups' and leave on 'Allow notifications' to see what happens.  Thanks for what will probably be the final solution, Jim.
