FileUp vs GoFile

FileUp is a self-hosted, open-source temporary file-upload and sharing service built on .NET, offering a public REST API for anonymous uploads with configurable expiry times and view limits. A live OPTIONS preflight with an Origin header against the maintainer's own running instance, upload.sinasnp.com/api/public/upload, returned a 204 with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors from unknown to no; the public upload endpoint requires no auth (only the separate admin panel uses Basic Auth), and HTTPS was reconfirmed. It's a free, open-source project with no paid tier.

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.
