**Hello!**

I’m looking for a downloads system plugin similar to files on [Invision](https://invisioncommunity.com/files/) and resources on [Xenforo](https://xenforo.com/community/resources/?page=1). Has anyone seen anything like this for Discourse?

I wish I had the skills to make one but alas, I do not. If anyone has any ideas, I might even be willing to commission someone to make it…

Mostly people use tools like Dropbox, Google drive or YouTube.

And upload size is limited and fixing that will be very hard. You’ll need a budget on the $1000 to $5000 range, I’d think.

I don’t allow uploads on our site over 3mb if it is they have to use YouTube or another file host it’s cheaper and easier on my server

Thanks for the honest feedback. I’ll have to have a think about it now.
