Dropbox/Onedrive/Google Drive are the only file hosts that have a free plan that I know of.
For embedding there are some free web hosts but I doubt there are any that have much more space than those file sharing services do. Like, Neocities is an option, but it only gives you 1GB on the free plan, whereas Onedrive is 5GB, Google Drive is I think 15GB, and Dropbox is 2GB.
Unfortunately it's not "don't use Discord because <moral reason>" it's "don't use Discord because links will break however often Discord wants them to." They're done with providing free hosting as a side-effect of how their system works. OTOH if you just need to share something with folks for a few days and don't care that links will eventually expire, go ahead and keep using Discord, it's not a problem.
This has got me paranoid about losing everything I have in DMs with my partner and a couple others I like to revisit, as well as a couple important business conversations. I want to pull all the images but also like, the text because I’m tired of discord scaring me like this. Any suggestions?
