About Gofile
Gofile is a cloud storage and file sharing service run by French company WOJTEK SAS. You can upload and share files from the homepage without an account, and the free tier keeps files temporarily. Premium adds permanent multi-region storage, CDN direct links, and full REST API access, billed as a flat subscription or pay-as-you-go per TB.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Sharing a file takes one drag and drop with no sign-up, and the link is ready before the upload finishes
- Pay-as-you-go storage at $3/TB/month and $2/TB traffic is cheap for bulk distribution
- No bandwidth throttling on uploads or downloads
- Direct links with IP, domain, expiry, and HTTP auth controls make it usable as a lightweight CDN
- REST API lets you script uploads, including from guest accounts
Cons
- Free-tier files are ephemeral, with no guaranteed retention period
- No SLA, team workspaces, or collaboration features for business use
- Free accounts show ads, and traffic caps are counted per IP, so shared networks can hit limits
- The API is in beta and most endpoints require Premium
- Desktop sync app is not yet available
Key Features
Instant guest sharing
Drag files onto the homepage and get a share link without registering; a guest session is created automatically.
File manager
Organize content in folders with search, tags, descriptions, a recycle bin, granular access permissions, and bulk ZIP downloads (advanced operations on Premium).
Permanent multi-region storage
Premium content is stored permanently and replicated across datacenters in Paris and Phoenix.
Direct links and CDN
Premium users generate direct links for embedding in sites and apps, with expiry dates, allowed IPs, domain allow/block lists, and HTTP auth.
Password and expiry controls
Protect shared folders with a password and set expiration dates on shared content.
REST API
A JSON REST API (beta) to upload, organize, and distribute content programmatically; uploads work for any account, most other endpoints need Premium.

Attach several accounts and switch between them without interrupting running uploads.
