Gofile News 2024-03-10
Hello everyone,
Quick update on the developments of Gofile in recent months.
A significant amount of work has been done behind the scenes by our teams, almost seamlessly for you all.
The last three months have been a period of intensive migration, both in terms of hardware and software.
Regarding the hardware, we have completely revamped our server distribution and the associated hardware.
Technical choices made several years ago had to be rethought as the service's popularity grew.
This hardware migration also required a substantial part of the backend to be rewritten in a new language to take advantage of the performance improvements offered by the new hardware.
Today, Gofile is five times more efficient and stable than it was three months ago.
A single server in one region can now handle tens of thousands of concurrent downloads at over 100 Gbps per server.
Just yesterday, we released a new version of our API. It is much more comprehensive than the previous one and more in line with the standard specifications of REST APIs.
Finally, a significant update has been made to the direct links feature.
These links, which allow you to distribute your content without going through the Gofile site, have been equipped with new functionalities.
Now, it is possible to create multiple links for a single content item. This content can be a file or even a folder, in which case a ZIP with all the content will be generated on the fly.
These links are customizable; you have the option to configure protection mechanisms such as authorized domains, login:password authentication, source IP addresses, or even an expiration date.
All of this is accessible from your file manager in the content options.
We are actively working on the implementation of the much-anticipated remote upload feature, which will support URLs and torrents.
However, we do not have a time estimate, as we are working on many topics in parallel.
Thank you for your support.
Gofile Team.

Hello, GoFile is linked to the email address you use on Patreon. If you signed up with the wrong email, you can simply change your email address in your Patreon profile, and GoFile will update accordingly.
I recently registered as a premium member of Gofile. I have activated my account using the link provided in the email. Despite completing all the necessary steps, I am unable to use the premium services as advertised. When I try to download all files as a batch, I cannot do so because I am only able to log in as a "guest" user. How can I resolve this issue?

I Just purchased & i do not have my premium membership
I'm having trouble logging into GoFile using email used in Patreon account. Already sent an email to contact@gofile.io
Hello, We fixed the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hello! I've received an unfavorable response from the API: {'status': 'error-token', 'data': {}}. This occurs when I attempt to retrieve the account ID. Here's how I'm doing it: python _url_get_account_id = "https://api.gofile.io/accounts/getid" headers = {"Authorization": "MYTOKEN"} # I'm using my token from the email message response: dict = requests.get(_url_get_account_id, headers=headers).json() I have been using my API token for a long time, and it was working fine until now. Could you please help me understand what the issue might be? Thank you!
Hello, Your token must be sent like this : headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer MYTOKEN"} If you have any issue please contact us at contact@gofile.io
Hi! I like a lot the new API but recently i found that you can't generate Direct Links anymore. Even if i click on "Direct Links" nothing happens! Could it be a bug?
Hello, Please send us an email at contact@gofile.io so we can check if the issue is on our side.
The new API changes look really nice, but how do you actually get an accountId for the accounts endpoint? Is it still possible to get account details using only an API token? I'm probably just blind... but I'm having issues figuring this one out...
Hello, You are actually correct. I will modify or add a new endpoint for this particular case. Do not hesitate to send us a message through the contact page on our website for this kind of issue. Thank you.
looking forward to going through the API change, I just improved my workflow with it so I'm looking forward to updated tool. Thanks for all your hard work
