Honestly, I'm okay with this at least until they fix the fact that all shared files are accessible without authentication. Granted, you still had to get the link before downloading an uploaded file, but the fact that there was no authentication required to download a file uploaded to Discord was pretty surprising.

It's probably also way cheaper to do it that way. As far as I could tell when I checked in on it some time ago, most of the content goes through a Cloudflare proxy straight to a GCP S3-compatible bucket.

You still need to know magical numbers to download file.

What is a password? A string of characters. What is a link? A string of characters.

If you make it long enough, it'll be impossible to guess one.
