That’s dreadful! I had assumed that iCloud (rather than Dropbox) sharing would share the original as that is already in the cloud anyway. It would just be a pointer or DB entry

I was horrified when I learned that Google wasn’t going to save full resolution by default. Had no idea Apple would do something similar.

Ugh, wasn’t aware of that. That plus my annoyances with the sorting will definitely make me reconsider using the shared albums as the primary way of sharing family photos.

Wow, what a deal breaker. I always felt like something was off quality-wise but never took the time to delve into that.
