Did you mean Google and iCloud? You don’t have to disable them, just stop auto uploading:

Stopping Google Photos Auto-Upload

On Android or iPhone:

1. Open the Google Photos app

2. Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner

3. Tap “Photos settings” (Android) or “Google Photos settings” (iPhone)

4. Tap “Backup”

5. Toggle Backup off

On a Windows PC:

1. Click the Google Drive/Backup and Sync icon in the system tray

2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) and select “Pause” to temporarily stop uploads, or “Quit” to stop entirely

On a Mac:

1. Click the Backup and Sync icon in the menu bar

2. Click the three-dot menu and select “Quit Backup and Sync”

Stopping iCloud Photo Auto-Upload

On iPhone/iPad:

1. Go to Settings

2. Tap your Apple ID name at the top

3. Tap iCloud

4. Tap Photos

5. Toggle “Sync this iPhone” (or “iCloud Photos”) off

On a Mac:

1. Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS)

2. Click your Apple ID

3. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Photos

4. Uncheck iCloud Photos

I think I have both but don't need both. How do I disable one of them?
