This was because Skype’s file transfer was Peer-to-peer, so it wasn’t Skype itself hosting the files. While discord is actually hosting the files, which is much more costly.
Well discord could offer P2P option with no limit...
But then they can't force you to get Discord Nitro.
This could be a nitro feature though
I’m guessing they don’t do it because it would take about 5min before people have written filesharing bots like the IRC XDCC bots of old.
That's a great idea for Nitro Plus!
But discord supports sending messages to people who are offline. It kind of breaks the paradigm if certain features require full synchronous communication. Maybe supporting p2p transfers during a video / voice chat would work though.
You say it as if not allowing people to send large files at all is somehow better than only allowing it sometimes.
you mean like voice/video chat?
Actually yeah. It feels like voice / videos were kind of tacked on. There isn't a really good web based chat tool that doesn't require some sign in and configuration. File transfer isn't like that and people can easily drop links to third party services in any chat.
Yeah but then no nitro no money no servers for chatting no discord discord ded :/
That sounds like a potential security risk.
Still bullshit 18 years later.
You can set up your own FTP server if you really care.
Wish Discord would implement that for direct messages at least.
