GoFile

About GoFile

GoFile is a file storage and content delivery service accessible through a REST API, allowing developers to integrate uploading, folder management, and direct link generation into their own applications. Uploads are handled by a separate upload fleet that automatically routes files to the nearest of several regional storage servers (Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and South America), or a specific region can be pinned manually. Files can be uploaded with or without an account: uploading without a token creates a guest account and a public folder on the fly, while authenticated uploads use an account token for access.

The API organizes content in a tree structure under a permanent root folder per account, supporting folder creation, content updates, and pagination/sorting when listing folder contents. Endpoints for reading folder contents and children are marked as Premium-only, while uploading, creating folders, and updating or deleting content are available to any account, including guests. Free accounts are capped at 10,000 stored contents, with Premium accounts scaling to higher limits.

The service is intended for developers building applications that need file storage and sharing capabilities, such as generating shareable download links or managing files programmatically. The API is described as being in beta, with endpoints subject to change, and enforces per-IP and per-account rate limits that are not publicly disclosed.
