Its so funny working a construction-facing architecture job where I have to take and share a ton of photos off of my Android vs. iPhone using coworkers. Its so backwards and complicated for them to share full-sized jpegs that will work with other software instead of their silly .heic file type.

It’s a single setting in the camera app

Great I'll just have everyone at the firm change their settings and theyll all do it lol

Then the photos themselves are a pain to share without it compressing them whereas I just send myself a Samsung gallery link and download to our server

I've unsuccessfully given instructions on how to do this multiple times, its just a clear drawback of their walled ecosystem

Sending photos to a shared web link is literally 2 taps, Share -> Create Shared Album Link.

Why is it so difficult for practicing architects, some with PhD's, to figure out when told of the issue?
