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.

Unlike other platforms, we store your files for as long as you need them, so it is crucial that we manage our storage sustainably

I mean, its great that they offer that, but all my files dont need to be permemnant. I would love the ability to review and delete old files

Yeah, makes no sense that they store some pdf I was dragging over to someone one time. Super inefficient. They should allocate an amount of storage per user that then rolls and deletes the oldest files when the cap gets exceeded to make room for the new files.

It’s probably because it’s their property now and personal data is precious

Maybe, but then they’d want more data, not complaining about needing to limit it. Or maybe it’s just because they want lots of small files like text, and not waste it on inefficient sound and video files.
