Hi there,  
I am working on an app where a good number of images may be uploaded by the users. Is there a way to control the size of uploaded image, otherwise the app total size may reach its limits fast.  
What is the best way to educate the users on image optimization?  
Thanks!

@IbrahimA glide doesn’t provide the possibility to change quality and size of uploaded image which is unfortunate.

A way to navigate around large uploaded images is to move an uploaded image to cloudinary just after it has been uploaded via the image picker.  
Take a look on this demo app. You don’t need to store the location as the demo app does.
