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.

We've found it to be the "least bad option" for DnD. Have a Discord window open for everyone to video chat in, have a browser window open with Owlbear Rodeo or Foundry / Forge for your tokens and character sheets, all works smoothly enough. The text chat is sufficient for sending the DM a private message; for group chat to share art of the things you've just run into or organise the next session.

Completely agree that for anything "less transient", then the UX is beyond awful and trying to find anything historical is a massive PITA.

Google Whiteboard could have been better. Hell, I can think of a dozen apps in the Google graveyard that could have been better.

But Discord still exists and they don't, so...
