Either I'm really dense, or theirs no option to download images from dm's.

It is possible to download images from DMs in two ways.

1) Interactive channel where you run the bot on separate account and DM from your main

2) Running bot on your main account and putting the channelID of your DM with someone else as normal channel

In both cases you obtain the needed ID by opening your discord client in browser and copying the ID from last part of the URL when you have the DM you want to have downloaded open. With interactive account this needs to be from your bot account and not your main account.

Is there a way that you, or someone else can make a tutorial, cause I've been trying to set this up for a few hours, and I'm not getting anywhere.

(A video, that shows and explains the steps preferably)
