File too big for Discord: how to send it anyway

In short

Without a Nitro subscription, Discord rejects files over 20 MB (since August 2026). To send a bigger video, game clip or archive, drop the file on ShareUrFiles and paste the link or the 6-digit code into Discord: your friend downloads it straight from your device, with no size limit and no account.

Step by step

  1. Drop the file on ShareUrFiles

    Open shareurfiles.com/send and drag in your video, clip or archive. Size isn't limited.

  2. Copy the link

    Click Create link, then copy the link or note the 6-digit code.

  3. Paste it into Discord

    Send the link in the channel or a direct message. Keep the ShareUrFiles page open while your friend downloads.

Discord's limit

Since August 2026, a free Discord account can send files of 20 MB at most. Nitro subscriptions raise that limit. A 1080p game clip often goes past 20 MB in under a minute.

Why use a link

  • No size limit: a 10 GB video goes through as easily as a screenshot.
  • No compression: the file arrives as is, in original quality.
  • Your friend doesn't need any account: the link opens in their browser.
  • The file isn't stored anywhere: it goes straight from your device to theirs.

For several server members

On the free plan, a link is for one recipient. To share a file with several members of a server, Basic allows 3 recipients per link, Pro 10 and Max as many as you like.
