For the sake of user convenience - only using Discourse and not combining together different platforms - is it possible to change the settings so that Discourse can handle large files? An audio recording of a 30 minute presentation with an image-rich PPT that accompanies the audio can be larger than the default settings, but still well within the normal range of document sizes that people (at least myself) might want to share.
