I really hate all those apps who make a fake folder in Pictures called ".gs_fs3" (or similar) filled with dummy pictures that actually contain unique identifier data

My fix for those apps (unfortunately I need taobao and Alibaba for work and I can't just uninstall them) is to create an empty file called .gs_fs3 so taobao can't own it and populate it with the tracking data
