Hi. New here. I have a raw photo from my iPhone that I want to share with someone. When I transfer it over to Dropbox it goes from 87MB to 16MB. How do I upload and transfer the whole photo?

Yes. Do I need to do it from a desktop? Is there a setting on the mobile app that reduces or compressed file data???

When you're tapping the plus icon to add the file, are you choosing the option to upload an image, or to 'create or upload a file'?
