GoFile vs Pantry

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.

Pantry is a free JSON storage service for small projects and prototypes: each Pantry is a namespaced bucket identified by an ID in the URL path, holding arbitrary JSON "baskets" read and written over a plain REST API. A live GET and OPTIONS preflight with an Origin header against the real host, getpantry.cloud/apiv1/pantry/, both returned Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming cors as yes; no API key is required (the Pantry ID itself is the access credential), and HTTPS was reconfirmed. The service is entirely free with no paid tier.
