howdy... nice to meet you... what I do with my images is 'process' them with GIMP (gnu/linux photo processing program). Try a couple of things:

1) scale the image... pic a value like cm or inches (whatever you understand best) and make the image a reasonable size for the screen.

2) export the image as reduced jpg. Set the reduction to something between 60 and 70. The image will lose quality (but nobody will notice).

The result is that that 1.47 meg photo from your camera will turn into a 35k (or smaller) file photo that will look great on screen.

Also, you can leave the photo in the cloud and just point the link here to your cloud services file. And as Dave F taught me, you can put up a thumb (reducing size further here) as a link to the larger photo on your cloud.
