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 guess locking basic features behind a paywall didn't work for them after all, eh?

I'd be down if Discord offered optional/default compression for images/videos. Yeah maybe my photos are 10 MB each, but with a slight quality loss they can get under 1 MB. Telegram does it well.

yknow, i would like to see reported figures as to why discord isn't actually able to host file sizes over a certain size...

The problem is discord never deletes files, no matter how old they are. So they have a perpetually growing storage need
