Sharing files via URL while possible, is:

1) Impractical. You have to upload files to third party services that usually require an account. So you have to leave the chat, upload the file, and then get back to paste the link.

2) Bad integration. Some sites work better on mobile than others. Some barely work on slow internet connections. Some required logins, or show ads. And you have to leave the client just to see a GIF.

1) Why do I want discord to have a perma-copy of everything I share? Where's the peer 2 peer file send?

2) Clients can auto integrate URLs, like IRCCloud. It works just as well as server side integration.
