Couldn’t you just... drag the gif into Slack?

    I've never had this problem, and I do it all the time. It embeds just fine.

      Non-animated GIFs embed just fine, if that's what you mean. I just tried animated again, and sure enough, attachment.

        S3 bucket, FTP folder, imgur... for your custom gif's and then you can paste a URL and get animation. No frills.

          If I paste a URL, I get a URL, not an embedded image. Then people have to click it to see the gif, and they don't, so it defeats the purpose.

            That is a preference you disabled. By default URLs are expanded inline.

        Copy and paste it into slack instead

          Uhh.... that creates an attachment. I'm begging to suspect that there's a setting, hidden size threshold, or something involved.

            Could be a setting in your organization or something I guess. Uploading a gif works fine for me and it's animated.

  Just typing /giphy <search term> is so easy though.
