Hello everyone,
It’s been a while since our last update on Patreon, and we wanted to take a moment to share what’s been happening behind the scenes at Gofile — and what’s coming next.
To sum things up in one sentence: progress has been steady, sometimes slow, but everything is moving in the right direction.
Much of our recent work has been focused on background improvements — the kind of things you might not see directly — as Gofile continues to gro...
Hello everyone,
This post is just a quick update to share our new interface that we've been developing for Gofile over the past few months.
We're still working on it, but it's almost complete. While there aren't any new features compared to the current live version, there are many technical and UI changes that should make navigation faster and smoother. The main goal was also to upgrade the current technology to a more modern framework, allowing us to develop the interface more qu...

Here are the latest updates on Gofile's development.
We have been working every day since the last post to improve the stability and scalability of the platform, as well as creating new features for the future.
We have migrated our database system to something more robust and scalable across multiple regions. We now have dozens of database servers spread across Europe and the US, making the platform faster to use worldwide. This was a lot of work and took alm...
2024-10-01 10:16:14 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Here are the latest updates on the development of Gofile.
We have put in a lot of work over the past three months, both on the server architecture and the website.
In our last post, we talked about a new API and new features for direct links. Many of our users appreciated these updates, and we have spent some time stabilizing this new code base based on your recommendations.
Since then, we have continued to develop new features, and here are the main on...
2024-06-22 02:16:55 +0000 UTC View PostHello 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 popul...
Hello everyone,
We have not communicated much in recent months, but rest assured that we continue to evolve Gofile towards the ideal platform for data storage and sharing.
Gofile has become a very popular platform worldwide. We have had to manage major technical challenges related to the network and server infrastructure. We are now present in two data centers, one in Europe and the other in the US. Hundreds of GBPS of bandwidth are served for each zone. We have many users in Asia...
2023-10-03 13:32:15 +0000 UTC View PostHello dear Gofile user,
First of all, sorry for the delay between this communication and the last one. We have been working hard for months to improve our server infrastructure. Indeed, the popularity of Gofile is still growing, and we spend most of our time scaling the infrastructure to accommodate all these new users.
Our network now has a capacity of over 250gbps. This is still not enough, so we are upgrading our links as much as possible.
At the same time, we have been d...
2022-12-16 19:11:57 +0000 UTC View PostHello to all,
Quick update to keep you informed of the latest developments.
Due to the explosive growth of the platform in the last few months, the available time has been mostly allocated to scalability and infrastructure optimization.
Most of the servers have now been migrated to our own datacenter space. Each server offers 10gbps of bandwidth. There are still a few servers that are still with with third party providers offering lower quality bandwidth. They are in the proces...
Hello everyone,
It's been 3 months since the last time I wrote to you.
A lot of work has been done since then.
Here is the list in no particular order of what has evolved:
- For developers, the API has been slightly modified, and a new endpoint /getContent is now available to retrieve information from a content. It is now possible to use Gofile in your applications in a completely transparent way.
- The statistics displayed in /myProfile are updated every 24 hours.<...
2021-11-28 01:37:40 +0000 UTC View PostHi Everyone,
It's time to give you some news about the development of Gofile.
The most important information concerns the network infrastructure and the servers. For a few months now, we've been in discussions with a datacenter in order to manage our own infrastructure and no longer rent servers from external partners. It's now a reality, Gofile has its own space in a professional datacenter.
Servers have already been installed and a few TB of data have been migrated there t...
2021-08-25 18:55:09 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
A few days ago an important update has been deployed. This update is the most complete since the beginning and is a one step closer to the final state I want to reach for the platform.
The changes concern both the website and the servers.
Concerning the servers, the new database has been implemented. The performance of this one is considerably better than the old one. The database was a problem for the performance. This has been fixed and the performance of Gofi...
2021-06-01 11:31:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
It's time to give you some news about the development of Gofile and the recent changes.
The last few months have been mostly about optimizing the existing system, migrating to new technologies and new providers. Many things have changed.
Those who visit Gofile daily may have noticed. A month ago on March 14th a big data migration was done. The goal was to convert the data in order to make it compatible with a future database migration. Gofile is more than 100 TB...
2021-04-14 12:18:15 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
First I wish you a happy new year. Let's hope that the year 2021 will be better than the previous one.
The last few months have been mainly dedicated to the application's scalability. Traffic has almost doubled in a very short period of time.
This of course brings many problems to solve. Technical but not only. It takes a lot of time and being alone in the project it leaves little room for the development of new features. I refuse to make the choice to limit ...
2021-01-11 17:34:47 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Here is the latest news about Gofile.
- New servers have been deployed in the US continent. Gofile now present mainly in Europe and the United States. I also plan to deploy servers in Asia in the future.
- A new algorithm for geographic load balancing has been deployed. It is working, but more work needs to be done to ensure that files are available on the right servers at the right time. This feature is the core of Gofile. It is important that it is well optimi...
2020-09-28 15:13:51 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
It's time to keep you up to date on the evolution of the platform, as well as future developments.
First of all, I would like to reiterate my thanks to all donors. It is thanks to you that I can continue to develop this service.
Concerning the recent changes made to the service :

- In addition to a ...
2020-07-15 14:39:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello donor members,
This is the first communication since the implementation of the donation system. I will regularly try to communicate on the new features and changes to the project and the platform. First of all I would like to thank you all for supporting the project. This is my only source of income to pay for the servers and infrastructure. It is therefore very important for the project that the community participates financially in its development.
In the current state, th...
