GoFile
GoFile is a free file-hosting service with no upload size limit, offering folder-based organization and a REST API for account, content, and folder management. A live GET against the real gateway, api.gofile.io/accounts/getid, returned a 401 without a token, reconfirming API-key auth over HTTPS, and the same response carried an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header echoing the request Origin, resolving cors from unknown to yes. The core upload/download API is free, with a paid Premium tier removing ads, wait times, and daily limits.
