When I try to download a my file(1.7 GB) it displays the error "Failed to download file: TypeError: window.showSaveFilePicker is not a function" in a alert.

The download button won't show up

I tried sharing a 1 gb file, but the link is so long browsers can't process it. Anything under 1 gb is shareable.

long af link.txt

When sharing a base64 string, we should move the encoded string to after a # and use the location hook.

This is because technically, the encoded URLs are sent to the server, there would be better security if they were in the section after the hash as this is available to the browser only

as the title suggests, Discord now offers 25MB upload sizes for free users, so the chunks can be 25MB now rather than 8.

I uploaded a ZIP file, but when I went to download it again, I got the following error:
Failed to download file: TypeError: window.showSaveFilePicker is not a function.
I am on Windows 11, using Firefox 108.0.1.

Being able to share a download link to a file/folder would be really convenient.

Is it possible to add the Drag and Drop feature to the web version?

Good morning, I have been using Disbox to host files on my friends' servers. Everything is working fine but there is one problem that I am not too happy about that.

When I share a larger file (over, for example, 2.1 GB), the site won't let me share it. I get an error called Failed to share file: NotAllowedError: Failed to execute 'share' on 'Navigator': Must be handling a user gesture to perform a share request.

I have been trying in several browsers with Chromium (for example Microsoft Edge or Opera GX) and even with Google Chrome, although it works the first time, but the second and the following attempts it stops working.

I will attach the screenshot of the error in case someone (or the developer of the page) can help.

P.S. I'm using the extension recommended by the developer (DisboxDownloader).

Would be great if their was a firefox addon as well so I don't have to use chrome to download my files,

I can't upload full folders at one time, for example - a tv series. I have to manually add each episode/file.
Would be good to be able to drag and drop files and folders.

Other than that, Disbox is great!

is there any guide so i can install on my vps

Firefox support would be great, although not really a high priority issue ig

i keep getting this error when uploading files Failed to upload file: TypeError: Failed to fetch

Folder downloading could probably be done via client side zipping, although this may not scale well

Today I came across an article: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/discord-will-switch-to-temporary-file-links-to-block-malware-delivery/
Specifically, it's about this part: "all links to files uploaded to Discord servers will expire after 24 hours" and "preventing the use of Discord's CDN for permanent file hosting". Does this mean the end of uploading files to Discord? Are there any workarounds for this?

Discord updated from 8 MB -> 25 MB, wohoo

Adding license to the repository

Please add support on mobile devices.

After creating a folder with a / character, the UI just becomes blank before the files load.

How can I access the files again?

when sharing on firefox, i just get an error saying navigator.share is not a function. after doing some googling, i found that only a handful of browsers support navigator.share, firefox not being one of them. you should probably confirm that navigator.share exists, if not, copy to clipboard

I would like to make modifications to this project and change how it functions to make my own variation, but before I get too far would like to know what license you wish to cover this work under and what permissions I have with it. You've done an excellent job designing the UI and making this method of storing files a reality.

I use disbox to store my movies, and some photos. (Just as a backup).
It would be nice to be able to play media files in the browser instead of having to download it.

is it possible to host this on my windows 11 computer? thanks in advance!

When i try to download some bigger file (bigger than 500MB) i got this error and site is freezing with greyed out buttons

Error is in Polish but translates to something like this: "The enull value is not a snowflake."
Tested on Microsoft Edge (chromium) with DisboxDownloader Addon

hello, this would be great for sharing files, but currently I cannot use it for this as it allows others to delete the shared files, perhaps there is some solution possible?

if we can mount our disbox channels via something like fuse, i could use a webserver to list the files read-only

As stated in the readme, CORS make it so you can't download files from discord directly. Disbox implements 2 ways to solve this:

• The recommended one: a chrome extension that acts as a local proxy.
• One for when you're in a hurry: an external proxy (currently allOrigins).

In the current state, Disbox simply acknowledges that using an external proxy is less secure (becuase someone else can see your files), and that if you don't trust the proxy (which is a whole other discussion), you should just download the extension.

However, it may be a good idea to also encrypt the files, for situations where the extension is not used. It's worth noting file encryption is not neccesary for extension usage as the files are secured by Discord itself.

It's possible to keep Disbox's current model, where the server can't access the files itself, and all files are recoverable by the user, and provide a simple implementation, using the following flow:

• When uploading, encrypt each chunk of the file using the webhook URL as the encryption key.
• Do this for every file, even ones that are uploaded when the extension is installed, so they could be downloaded even without it.

This also has a few disadvantages:

• It's not neccesarily the best direction. It may be better to just make the external proxy needed in less use cases, for example, using an app or a Firefox extension.
• It makes the files harder to recover. If the Disbox client goes offline for some reason, users which urgently need their files can't just download the files as chunks and merge them manually - it requires extra work and manual decryption.
• It doesn't follow Disbox's current policy which is not handling security - and leaving it all to Discord. Truth be told, I'm not a security expert and sometimes it's better to admit that something is insecure (and let cautious users encrypt it before uploading), rather than claiming something is secure when you can't actually promise that.

Even given all of these, the task at hand doesn't seem that complex, and it is a significant security improvemnt for proxy users - so it may still be worth to add it.

Happy to hear feedback about this. I'd like to know what other people think and how important that is. Do you trust the proxy server? Do you even use it, or did you install the extension? Are you even aware you're exposing your data to a 3rd party? Maybe just a disclaimer is needed? Please share your opinions.

I can't download anything else unless something that is small in size [picture}, if anything that is kinda huge in size it is downloaded but the file had became corrupted and unusable but it seems like it stopped downloading at a certain point and also the buttons will not work after clicking it too all of the sudden.

In Chrome, I keep getting the error "Failed to share file: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')

I have an error when i try to upload files:

Failed to upload file: Error: Failed to sendAttachment with status 400: {"webhook_id": ["\u0417\u043d\u0430\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u00abdiscord.gg\u00bb \u043d\u0435 \u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0435\u0442\u0441\u044f snowflake."]}

We would probably want the server to keep a shortened form, but that would require it to have access to the files.
Maybe this could be okay because shared files are already kind of public.

We could also solve this with automatic URL shortening using a 3rd party.

Please share opinions

i want to self host this on my repo but the problem is that idk how to do it, i've done the github pages part but i dont understand the server part, does it mean that i have to host the server somewhere in cloud? is there any free alternative way i can use like github pages for hosting?

so the story is that I uploaded my files as a backup because I want to reinstall my windows, then when I tried to get it from the web of disbox, it was empty but the content is in the server. can you please tell me how to read these files on the server?

Can be possible to add a feature to enable/mark a file size chunk of 500mb instead for nitro users. Ofc there is not any advantage of doing so but this will mean less files posted on the server hahaa, im plaining to upload big files of 20gb average

Basically what the title says. Sorry for all the screenshots, this was the best way I could explain it.
I tried uploading a big file, about 2.2GB according to windows explorer, just for the fun of it.

However... it seems at around 74-75% discord starts to rate limit the webhook.

This causes some chunks to not be uploaded to Discord (there's more not listed in this screenshot)

Trying to download the file causes it to error out at the 74% mark, with an error stating this:

It's a bit inconvenient to chunk it into parts then upload those, so is there a way to fix this?

This is a very very useful and handy feature. I'm not sure if it supports this type of "storage" or not...

This could be sick if automated, it could be used for a lot of solutions such as auto backups (dodgy but better then no backups? xd)

compared to the discord webhook api this could provide folders, auto splitting, and ofc files being viewable in the disbox website

Currently it is very tedious to upload multiple files, Issue #5 would help, but it would be nice to have drag + drop functionality. Also, please make it so you're allowed to upload multiple files at a time without clicking the upload button again.

Could you please make a discord server so it is easier to share ideas/trouble shoot?
also could you please add a way to use more than one webhook or upload more than one file at a time such as batch selection.
I would also appreciate if there was a way to batch delete files.
thank you

I used 4 browsers: 3 on the same Linux system, firefox, brave, chromium; and the other is firefox on a linux VM. I attempted to upload some files from them. Strangely i see a different list of files (some being vacant lists) using these diff browsers.

I know it's not about disbox exactly but I still could think about. Is it worth and possible to use guilded.gg as cloud storage cuz they have 500mb for any file except images(which is 25mb).

how can i upload multiple files? i know that i cant upload a folder but is it possible to upload multiple files from one folder?

Up until a week ago when I went to the Disbox website all my files were visible and I could download and upload them. At the moment the site only shows "No rows" and I can't see ANY of my files! Can anyone help me with this?

Failed to share file: NotAllowedError: Failed to execute 'share' on 'Navigator': Must be handling a user gesture to perform a share request.

Hi, I can't download any files. Attaching screenshot with error and dev console.

(after click on download)

(after click on OK in alert)

Was wondering if this is prohibited by discord?

I can upload files and everything but after I go to the download link, The button doesn't work at all. I tried with 1kb file to 200mb file, Nothing works

For some reason I can't delete empty folders, the "Delete" button is always greyed out.
Also, is it possible to have a feature where you can generate a download link for sharing?

Currently, every time i want to access my data server, i need to enter my Webhook. This process is very slow, because i always have to copy it from discord or somewhere else.

What if you can create a account / login to your account via GitHub, Google or what ever to get a list of all your Webhook / Media Servers and easily click on them to open it.

But very interesting idea 👍
