Mild Annoyance Max File Size 25mg

We artists are told to upload our best work in terms of sharpness, etc....And yet, FAA only accepts our images max file size at 25mg....
Many of my images are up to 30mg as I work with a Canon EOS 70D.

Why not raise the max file size up to 30mg???

Well, mathematically speaking, there are currently 7216296 pieces of art on the website (From home page). If you allowed every piece to be an extra 5mb, that could potentially be 36 terabytes of extra storage. ;)

And it really isn't too hard to compress just slightly a 30mb file down to 25.

Wow, thanks for the math. I wonder how the photo site "flickr" is able to store our images at full resolution for free? I estimate I can store some 200,000 of my images at 25mg or more for free, and then download each of the 200,000 images at full resolution or at any size.

Flickr most have billions of images from artists the world over!!!

Nor can we store our images that we upload to Fine Art America, I mean we can't download our images at the full resolution that we upload them.

With Flickr I can download an image of mine in a second at the full resolution that I uploaded it.

What are you going to do when flickr removes the free accounts? They are in the file sharing-hosting business. Its what they do.

Flickr's users are unhappy about two things: the design, and the new pricing structure. The new design looks awfully like a Tumblr archive, but the problem isn't just how it looks.
Users are complaining about basic usability, unwanted infinite scrolling, slow loading, the removal of titles (they only appear on mouseover now), problems finding stuff, the ability for someone else's glamour shots to dominate your front page, the complete impossibility of clicking links in the front page footer... you get the idea.
