Sending Files in Direct Messages:

  • In the chat window, click on the "+" icon next to the text input field.
  • From the options that appear, choose "Upload a File."

  • Once the file is uploaded, it will be sent in the chat, and the recipient will be able to download it.

Sending Files in Servers:

  • Select the server in which you want to send a file from the left sidebar.
  • Locate the channel within the server where you want to send the file.

Please note that there are file size limits for uploads on Discord, depending on your account type. Nitro Classic users can upload files up to 50MB, while Nitro users can upload files up to 100MB. If the file exceeds the limit, you may need to compress or reduce its size before uploading.

Additionally, Discord supports a wide range of file types for uploading, including documents, images, audio files, video files, and more. However, certain file types may be restricted in certain servers or by server settings to maintain security and prevent abuse.
