compress
compress is a Unix shell compression program based on the LZW compression algorithm. Compared to more modern compression utilities such as gzip and bzip2, compress performs faster and with less memory usage, at the cost of a significantly lower compression ratio.
The uncompress utility will restore files to their original state after they have been compressed using the compress utility. If no files are specified, the standard input will be uncompressed to the standard output.
In the up-coming POSIX and Single Unix Specification revision, it is planned that DEFLATE algorithm used in gzip format be supported in those utilities.

Question How to compress photos before uploading to cloud
I'd like to compress photos before uploading them to my C2 backup cloud, just like Google Photos do. Or I think they resize them. That way it will take up less space, but photos are still ok to look at. Or is it not a good idea to do that?- wwwampy

Compress video and image
Is there any option to compress video or image in Moments? If I want to share a video of my kids with my mom I get a 1-minute video of 400 MB. That's of course too much.
