What Gofile is
Gofile is an online cloud-storage and file-sharing service available through the web and an API. Users can drag and drop files or select them for upload, then receive a download link. Premium features add content import, bulk download, copy and paste, search, and customizable direct links for websites and applications. Download tracking is listed, while the REST API documentation says most endpoints require a Premium account. API rate limits apply by endpoint, but exact values are not publicly disclosed. Gofile encrypts transfers with TLS and encrypts stored content at rest. Its privacy policy says it does not use tracking, advertising, analytics, or third-party cookies. Free accounts use an email address only for secure login links, with no password required or stored. Storage datacenters operate in Paris and Phoenix. There is no desktop app. Premium access includes priority servers during busy periods and an ad-free experience.
