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.

    I’ll have to check my math again. But are people uploading more than that? On my friend server, with 50 people, we’ve had about a dozen uploads all year, and they’re all pretty small PDFs and images. Everything else is rich links.

      It’s heavily used at many universities. Think notes, images of whiteboards, full textbooks, pictures of tests, shared multiples times daily by tens of thousands of people. It adds up very fast.

        Ahh, right. I’ve made the classic mistake of thinking my usage was normative.

      Pictures.

      Which are automatically downloaded by every active user of the chat on every individual client, and many people do at least tens per day.

        Interesting. We don’t upload many pictures, either; though admittedly I hadn’t thought about it, and that probably doubles my total.
