This issue should serve as a reminder to people wondering why we might not update Discord to upcoming releases immediately:
Discord 0.0.75 started shipping Electron 32.2.2, a version that ended up breaking the file chooser portal, and therefore making it impossible for users to upload files to Discord in a regular manner (unless these files are stored in one of the whitelisted directories).
I personally think that file uploading is an important feature to stay broken like that for who-knows-how-long. For that reason, I decided to downgrade Discord to 0.0.74 and stay on that version until the problem is fixed.
I'm personally monitoring new stable Discord releases and will be testing them locally to make sure the portal issue is fixed before we release it for everyone.
