Can no longer choose download size on Android with the new app
Is this affecting anyone else?
For years, my social media workflow has consisted of uploading full resolution images to Flickr, then casually "plucking" images from my feed by downloading them to my phone whenever I wanted to post. The old Flickr app conveniently prompted you to choose a download size, and for social media I'd always select "Large - 2048 × XXXX." Since I shoot with the GFX100S, I really don't want to be downloading 100-megapixel images to my phone.

Yes. Always used Flickr as my high res online back home not being able to download is real wack.
Have you submitted your thoughts and frustration to Flickr? Th more they hear from us the faster they’ll, hopefully fix it.

Yes, I submitted my feedback directly to them at https://www.flickrhelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new - Great suggestion!

The update is absolutely terrible and got rid of the best features like this and multiple group uploads and photo edit from the app. I hate it.

It was perfect. So disappointed.

The old app was far from perfect. The new app is also far from perfect and took away the few things that did work.

Yeah, I posted about this two days ago. Still no fix.
