I'm surprised they didn't put a time limit on the storage since they are not a file hosting platform.
Honestly, I've always been surprised they allow any direct file transfers, instead of having to use external links.
I find it weird that they upload content to their own servers even when you provide them with an external link.
They want the data
Clicking an external link exposes your IP address to the server. All someone has to do is send a link that looks like something you want but actually just logs your ip address and you’re doxxed.
Lol, I already saw that happening in a server
I know there's been several news items regarding file changes to links within discord, like
Link Expiration,
file size increase for free users, and all i found from a quick search was this reddit post talking about how their file wasnt deleted, but the link directs to discord saying "This content is no longer available."
I don't know how long it is, but to wether or not it was removed by discord, or file expired, im not sure
