Discord can edit your messages later if they think you sent a virus
I uploaded a test exe in a private Discord server… and a little while later Discord edited my message and deleted my exe. Understandable why, but still unexpected!

BloodSlut, Hasnt this been a feature for a while now?
faintwhenfree, If you want to use discord but still prefer them not scanning the file. Password zip are easiest solution, bit hassle, but antivirus will skip over it.
Jeraxus, It’s… frightening
WillFord27, It surprised me! I thought they would have warned the user or deleted the message, but nope, they edit it…
Jeraxus, If it’s a file you need to send, how do you do?
WillFord27, I don’t think Dropbox deletes your files, that’s what I usually use
capt_wolf, If it’s something that needs to be accessible for a while, I put mine up on mega, Dropbox, or google drive.
WillFord27, Google Drive has cracked down a bit on what types of files they support. They actually banned me from uploading for a few days from uploading and sharing an exe lol
capt_wolf, That’s nuts… What about nesting it in a zip, rar, or 7z?
WillFord27, Haven’t tried, Dropbox is too convenient :P
capt_wolf, I’m surprised. They never gave me a hard time doing emulator packages. We had to send preconfigured stuff for races and events and they never batted an eye.
capt_wolf, Don’t expect anything you write on a platform controlled by a private entity to be safe, ever.
Or anywhere in general for that matter. The only place your thoughts are safe is in your head. For now at least…
