Respected Infinityfree team, If I make a tool like pdf converter, on internet there is a method to make your website as background and make a apk of it… And we can also upload that app in playstore… is it legal acording to terms of service of infinityfree?, if we manage the storage 5gb…

  1. You cannot host an API here because of the security system, meaning the app will not work at all.
  2. You must not use the hosting as a storage service as described in the ToS.

So no I’m afraid that what you are describing is not possible…

No, the website is not being used as permanent file hosting. The uploaded file is only processed temporarily — for example, converted into a PDF — and then the user downloads it immediately. After the download, the file is automatically deleted from paths like example.com/files/example, so no long-term storage is provided.(it’s the idea)

The main question is whether this type of temporary file-processing website can be uploaded to the Google Play Store as an Android app, since there are many tutorials showing how to convert a website into an app and publish it on the Play Store, Is this legal according to terms of service of infinityfree?

This is my Secound Question, If I use InfinityFree only as the frontend host and handle storage on another service (like external APIs or cloud storage), is that allowed under InfinityFree’s terms?, then no restrictions of Providing Image hosting or other services?

I think the security system that prevents non-browsers from accessing your site, would still likely prevent what you’re trying to do. Since I know that I can’t display my website in an app in android

I’m guessing that the “turn a website into an app” tool is just “build a small shim app with a WebView component that loads the website”.

Which is fine by itself since you’re basically just slapping a different name and icon on a stripped-down web browser. However, I do vaguely remember that WebView components don’t play well with our bot protection system, so I’m not sure if it will work.

As for the PDF conversion functionality, that’s a bit of a grey area because PDF conversion is more compute expensive than regular web activity. But the account CPU limits should help keep that in check. File hosting is also a bit of a grey area, but if it’s temporary, I don’t see any major issues with that either.

All in all, I would say it’s safe enough to try, but do test the app beforehand because I’m not sure if it will work.

If possible, try to make the code that proccess pdf file to frontend, it will only count the daily hit instead of the limited CPU usage.
