Full Resolution Photo and Video Sharing Option #277

Is there an existing request for this?

Feature description

Currently, when sharing photos and videos through Molly (and Signal), they undergo resizing or compression, which often leads to a loss in quality. In addition to the Standard and High quality options, an Original option could be included.

My suggestion is to introduce an option allowing users to send photos and videos in their original, full resolution without any alterations. This feature would be particularly valuable for individuals who wish to preserve the high quality and clarity of their visual content when sharing.

Signal's reason for not allowing full resolution images is not quite convincing. Other IM apps allow sending of full resolution photos and videos (with a size limit of course for very large files).
