Ability to Upload PowerPoint Files Directly

I would like a feature where we can upload PowerPoint files directly without using file sharing services (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc).

Unfortunately, there is a really strict storage limit for attachments via this forum software. We are using the free account tier which looks like it'll give us a whopping 20 MB for attachment storage. Now I am uncertain if this 20 MB is the max per attachment post, or 20 MB for the entire forum? Either way, 20 MB isn't going to get us very far when we want to attach PowerPoint files. If storage limits weren't a thing, it actually does support .pptx and .pptm files for attachments. I did a quick look at the other price tiers just to see what they have to offer out of curiosity, and it's still unclear (500 Mo and 2 Go for the middle and upper tiers.) It's just easier (and a LOT cheaper!) if each creator can find their own file storage and then share their links on here.

Sounds like even the max storage capacity is nothing compared to the full storage of just this single PC (their two gigabytes versus my two terabytes?  Like what!?).  Plus, I've got another two tera's in one other laptop, and another external hard-drive.  Their limits seem a bit pre-modern if you ask me.

Considering that the software has to store and handle all of the traffic for every forum that uses their software, it's both standard practice and very reasonable to limit the capacity of content that can be stored. Even if the 20MB limit is on the entire forum itself, 20MB x the potential thousands or even tens of thousands of forums they might be managing could add up very quickly. There's also concerns about security and privacy, which likely leads to more costs for the software company the more data they store, plus downloading and uploading data in this manner will be much more taxing on their network than any forum post ever will be, so again this is perfectly understandable.

Considering all of the free / cheap options that already exist, it's not really that big of a deal.
