I already know about matrix and revolt, what I have in mind is a bit different, for years now, I've had a private server in discord that is just for storing images, info and other things quickly and easily, it's simple media picker, fast upload, categories/folders via channels and already being an app I had open all the time on all my devices has made it very useful for my needs

But alas, with the enshitification of discord, I need an alternative, so that I can move everything I've stored, before it all goes to shit, ideas?

Abusing it is part of the reason (part of it) discord made files expire. You are/were abusing discord.

Yeah, originally I just used it for reaction images to quickly grab and send when I was in high school, eventually grew to a lot more, and now I need to bail, but need to save what's there and find an alternative that is dedicated to this purpose

That is a hard one, you might look into ope source drive solutions, but that would require some setup and if you use a lot of space then also money.

To answer your question, I don't endorse the following solution, but I think it would still be 1% better than using Discord: If you already have Telegram, you can use Whitehole.

Any cloud storage service? Everything from Dropbox to Nextcloud

[–] DarkDiamondK@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Those I've found have terrible upload and download rates and generally an awful interface

Why not combine a good image storage service with a easy-to-search database?

I don't need this kind of thing, so I can't give great suggestions, but I've been told catbox.me is a good provider and a lot of people use Notion.

Edit: Replied to the wrong comment.

The thing about sync thing is that I would need to have sufficient storage across all devices, I already use sync thing for specific cases already

So, you need a file server or remote power on.
