Hey Rainbow1, thanks for posting here! 

 

If I understand the situation correctly, it sounds like you wish to compress your content, before uploading to your account and then sharing it with others. 

 

Provided you have a different issue (with the file name for example) don't hesitate to correct me.

I hope this helps!
