Previously, Telegram for Windows offered a dedicated share sheet with an option to share files and documents. However, they seem to have removed the option and rely directly on the Windows file selection menu.

The Telegram app lets you send media files up to 2GB in size. It previously supported up to 1,5GB limit, which was increased last year. In comparison, WhatsApp allows a maximum media file size of 16MB and up to 100MB when sharing as documents.
