Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

A feature that's be nice is giving you a higher upload limit if you make your upload temporary.

Or let you host from your own machine, rather than paying Discord for the privilege of using their wildly overpriced services.

I hate discord a lot, but this feature kinda destroys the reason discord exists. We used to have irc which is direct communication and needs both systems to be online ( yes, bouncers exist, but they arent perfect ). We moved away from irc so systems didnt need to be online and it was all in the cloud. Direct communication/file sharing from pc would kinda revert all that lol

( lets gooooo, bring irc back :p )
