        Ignoring the fact that they were clearly talking in orders of magnitude, it was 8MB for a very long time and only recently got increased to 25.

          I’d only recently noticed the change, because my multipicture and short video sends were failing less often.

        Fine, free gets you 20 floppy disks worth!! Omg, so useful. Four second heavil compressed reaction mp4s might fit fine. Don’t go more than ten.

        If I’m measuring it in two handfuls of floppy disks in 2023, then its not a lot. That’s your hint that I’m measuring it in !980s technology.

          There’s no daily limit mate, you’re free to upload as many files as you want.

          Just not at once.

            No one here is talking about daily limits or how many files you can upload.

              You’re the one complaining about only being able to upload 4 mp3s
