Before starting, you will have to create a Discord bot.
This will take less than 5 minutes.

Setting up the Discord bot

• First go to Discord Applications Portal and create a new application
• On the left, under Settings, click on Bot and add a bot:
  
• Copy the Bot token (you will need it later):
  
• On the left, under Settings, click on OAuth2 and copy the Client ID.
  
  
• Replace the Client ID in the link below and invite the bot to your server with it:
  https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&permissions=8&scope=bot

Installation

Download the latest version from Releases.
After installing the package, the app will guide you through the setup process.

Once the setup is finished, you should see a new "Discord.FS - [...]" tab on the left in the Windows Explorer.
