Just do it. 😉 Might be a Premium feature perhaps if it costs too much server space and/or bandwidth. And please add internal Last.fm scrobbling to uploaded files, too (works with browser extension Web Scrobbler in the Deezer web player which cannot stream FLAC though). Would be great if we could listen to these FLAC files in any device as well, not only in the desktop app which allows HiFi streaming.

Google Play Music and Amazon Music allow this as well, but convert them to MP3 afterwards, not sure about Tidal or Apple Music (with ALAC files), Spotify cannot upload any files anyhow, only play local files on your device:

Wouldn't anyone like to be able to upload that music that is not on Deezer in better quality?

If we say we're an app that focuses on providing high fidelity, the best option would be to upload files with the same quality. MP3s are proven not to be a high-sounding file. If you can't upload as many files as what's currently offered in MP3s, because they take up much more space, then uploading fewer files should be allowed, but in that format, right? @Leonídia.Deezer

It just feels like all the feedback forums are kinda... Useless sadly.

If the issue with FLAC uploads is the size they take up on your servers why not just let us add local files? Sure, A big benefit of uploading your own files is that your can remove them from your computer/phone and access them from other devices, but personally I’ll only be listening to music with my phone that will be downloaded for offline use anyways.
