Have a bot connected to the channel that records the conversations to a text file and you have history. The bot can run anywhere if you don't want it to run on your own computer of course. Also, for pings to you if you want notifs bouncers exist,

Also, people need to be a little more precise regarding sharing files. OP just said "share file" they didn't say host files or whatever. Often times the file I want to share isn't hosted or can be embedded (in the past I had to pass around multi-GB binary dumps and you can't embed that in slack and I definitely think you can't do that in discord).

Or, you know, just use a product that has all that built-in freeing you to do other things
