Uploading videos to iCloud

I am trying to upload a video (our wedding video) from the computer to icloud to protect it from loss. It is an MPG file and I have also tried converting it to a MP4 file and neither will let me upload it to the cloud.

How big is the file? It must be on the large size if it's a wedding video?

iCloud has a limit on the size of file you can upload: You can store files in iCloud Drive as long as they're 50 GB or less in size and you don't exceed your iCloud storage limit. See Access and manage your files in iCloud Drive

I've used iMovie to export in a smaller size. You can do the same I understand with Final Cut Pro, which I've never used.

But with your important wedding video do you really want to reduce the quality for your archive copy?

Do you know how to make the file smaller?

No not really. Just been burned by hard drives before and don’t want to completely lose it. Disappointed that I pay for extra cloud storage and it can’t keep it safe :(
