How to send CLEAR videos?

[brinner456]

Had my S7 for a week and came from having and iPhone. I LOVE this phone and all of the personalization you can do with it, but like most, I miss iMessage. Mostly because you cannot send a video without it being super pixilated. I understand that it has to shrink the file down in order to send, but I don't want to change the quality of the video I'm taking to make it send an okay video. I tried uploading to youtube and dropbox and both are pixilated on that as well. I have a kiddo, we don't live near family and I usually send a ton of videos, so finding a solution is huge or else I will take it back for an iPhone, which I don't want to do.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I found my own answers. Dropbox does work when you share the link, which is strange since when I was looking at it where they all uploaded, it was pixilated. There is also a "simple sharing" which seems to send it even more clear than dropbox. In case anyone else was wondering

I haven't tried to send a video yet. Where is this "simple sharing"? Is it part of the S7 or a website?
Thanks

When you are in the gallery, you hit the share button, it will come up there with contacts and things like fb, etc. Mine is at the very top of that window, says simple sharing.

I think I read about that last night. It's where you upload to the Samsung "cloud". It's available for 24hours? And the person who you're sending the video to has to have a 4 digit pin (usually the last four numbers of their phone number)...unless I've gotten this confused with something else.

Carriers need to allow more data for MMS.. ATT(600K) has it(10mb) but one for select devices and the s7 is not one of them which makes 0 sense =-/
