This would be REALLY helpful to my non-techie userbase.

Since we have limited storage on Digital Ocean, we can’t allow full size camera uploads anymore. I’ve imposed a strict 1MB limit to keep it under control (we have a LOT of photos). This means most people’s direct camera shots are too big, and must be downsized before posting.

Manually resizing all photos before uploading is annoying at best. To a less skilled user this can be frustratingly difficult, especially on mobile devices.

For us, bandwidth is not the immediate concern. I’d trade a lot of bandwidth for a simpler user experience.
