When sharing a web album with a client, no option for download size?

Am I missing something or this is just not possible?

 

I do event photography and when sharing an album, seems like the user should get an option "Download full size files or Download web size." Web size either something Adobe sets automatically or even allows the downloaded to set their longest edge size.

 

This seems like such an obvious option to offer that I'm a little baffled it's not available. Am I missing it? or is there some good reason to not provide it I'm not thinking of??

AFAIK, for images which exist in the cloud in original size, the album download is restricted to the maximum size of the (cropped) image, the quality setting is preset and cannot be changed by the user. For images synced from LrC, and so exist in the cloud only in smart preview form, the download size used to be 2048 px on the long edge. I'm not aware of any recent change in that regard.

I have the same question for the same reasons.  I'm just transitioning from a clunky web based gallery method of providing my pictures to clients and the client web album option in Lightroom is so easy to use and disseminate my pictures, but only in file sizes of 1 M or less.    I see that sciulli999 asked this question in March, but I can’t seem to find an answer in the community.
