      Why can't they allow sharing it lossless, as it is?

            Wait, I could use this HD toggle for a while many weeks ago, but then it disappeared, maybe after an update.
            Now if only they could bring document previews for photos.

              Weird. I've been using this for over a month and never used Beta versions.

              Btw, in "Storage and Data", at the bottom, there's an option "Media upload quality" and "photo upload quality". It comes with "Auto" by default, but you can choose "Data Saver" to keep the photos in low quality and activate the HD button before sending, or "Best quality" to always send in HD.
