Cloud Storage and Contacts

[Blazin65]

My Samsung S5 from Verizon is constantly giving me the message that "Contacts in Cloud Storage failed to update", or something to that effect.

My question is: What is this? I didn't know I was trying to upload me contacts to cloud storage? Who's cloud storage? Is there some setting somewhere that I should be turning this off? Or am I signed up for something with Google Cloud Storage automatically?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Nothing to do with either Google or Samsung I am afraid. This is a Verizon feature...

Oh! Well, I didn't know anything was backing up to Verizon storage, but now I see. I opened up the Verizon storage and voila, every picture and video I've taken is there. I still can't figure out why the contacts want upload and store, however.

I have turned all of that stuff off, I do NOT want anything uploaded to Verizon's Cloud service.
Eats up bandwidth, or DATA if you don't make sure it sticks to WiFi only.

Also, with the amount of pictures I take everyday, I would overflow the limits and get monthly storage charges.
No thanks, turned it all off, I transfer all pictures to a special hard drive locally.

I use Super Backup to archive my Contacts, SMS stuff, Calendars to my extSDcard and a 2nd copy to my email...
