All that is shown on the Online system is a Smart Preview. No matter what type, kind, of file you Sync (Upload) all that is displayed are Smart Previews of the images.

Yep, I read about that. My question is more like a rhetorical question. Why did Adobe make such function if result is not usable???

It's not a complex task from the engineering point of view. From the marketing side this is total fail as well.

If you want full-sized images in the cloud then you need to install Lightroom CC (the cloud-based Lightroom) and import the images directly using that program rather than trying to shared collections from Classic. By importing images to Lightroom CC you will have the full-sized images in the cloud. The difference is that the full-sized images will impact your cloud storage allotment whereas the Smart previews will not.

As far as from an engineering point of view is concerned, Lightroom Classic CC is structured the way it is by design. Lightroom CC (the cloud-based Lightroom) is structured the way it is by design. You have to choose which way you want to go. If you want full sized images in the cloud then you have to use the cloud-based Lightroom. Like it or not, that's the way it is.

Some more info is needed.

What equipment are you using to view the photo online. The synced file is a smart preview of the original file.
