Is it like cloudinary ?
Means it has an api or not.
As cloudinary is limited and I need a large storage database for ’ free ’

it does not have a api and limit just upload,copy url and use it.
conclusion: it is not a storage platform but a social media, we just can use it as storage

No API, total free, its a social media application so the look is totally different than cloudinary.

Please do not Misuse a Service. Discord is not meant for file Storage, it’s for Gamers by Gamers. If Everyone starts abusing the system it may cause Server issues due to bandwidth. It can also affect Ping, We need the ping to be low in order to communicate in realtime. It can also affect the competitive scene as well
