My website is theanons.ga
Can I allow my website’s registered users to upload images, videos, audios, .ai files, .ae files, etc. (excluding all the archive format files, apk, and ipa files) on my website for sharing?

Please review my website and suggest me the changes and if I unknowingly violate TOS, then please inform me, I will fix that issue.

Use the given credentials to log in and review. (This is only for demo purposes. It will be deleted soon)

Am I violating TOS?

anon77371365 · January 3, 2021, 8:58am

Well, this is against the TOS if the content is stored in FreeHosting Servers, but if you put it in a s3/s3 clones, it shouldnt violate the TOS.
I am not so sure about it, wait for Admin or someother perosn

bjs.w.204 · January 3, 2021, 9:03am

What is it?

anon77371365 · January 3, 2021, 9:04am

A simple google search will give you the result

bjs.w.204 · January 3, 2021, 4:53pm

Someone, please give me the answer. @Admin @KangJL

anon19508339 · January 3, 2021, 5:38pm

The answer is no, use Amazon s3

anon2458064 · January 3, 2021, 5:49pm

If you are hosting those images and videos on the infinityfree hosting servers that is a huge no. Like above if you use AWS S3 then yes

I have to say, the design and UI of the website is amazing. But unfortunately I don’t have an answer to your question

anon77371365 · January 4, 2021, 2:04am

And a piece of advice, don’t ping someone randomly

bjs.w.204 · January 4, 2021, 4:44am

I know KangJL, so I pinged him. It wasn’t random.
But it’s okay.

bjs.w.204 · January 4, 2021, 5:37am

Am I allowed to use this settings or not?
I disabled Document uploads so it won’t violate TOS.
But are users allowed to upload their profile image?

anon77371365 · January 4, 2021, 5:45am

Well, as said, Whatever kind of uploads is forbidden unless it is hosted somewhere else and please upload the images here

KangJL · January 4, 2021, 6:06am

How can you assure the profile image is not offensive?
This is also a grey area to ponder about.
Dun forget TOS is also a fluid definition…it is not really fixed.

bjs.w.204 · January 4, 2021, 6:56am

If I found profile picture offensive, I can remove it.

bjs.w.204 · January 4, 2021, 7:05am

I think I can allow my website users to upload images as there is nothing listed about images in TOS in Usage of Disk Space Terms section.

Terms of Service - InfinityFree

Read tos carefully again:

ToS:

10. SCRIPT USAGE TERMS

Scripts on the site must be designed to produce web-based content, and not to use the server as an application server. Using the server to generate large volumes of email from a database is an example of activity that is not allowed. Scripts should not attempt to manipulate the timeouts on servers. These are set at the present values to ensure the reliability of the server. Sites that reset these do so because they are resource intensive, and adversely affect server performance and are therefore not allowed. Scripts that are designed to provide proxy services, anonymous or otherwise, are not allowed.

The primary purpose of any script must be to produce a web page. Scripts that send a single email based upon user entered information, or update a database are acceptable. Scripts that send bulk email or perform processor intensive database processes are not allowed. All outgoing mail is monitored and filtered and must be sent to or from a InfinityFree-hosted domain.

Sites must not contain scripts that attempt to access privileged server resources, or other sites on the same server

Examples of not allowed script and website types include (but are not limited to):

Pornographic/adult content

Proxy scripts

Chat scripts

Bitcoin / cryptocurrency faucet sites

File sharing / file storage scripts

Autolike scripts

Hacking scripts / PHP shell scripts

Phishing

Mass mail scripts

Website scraping/crawling/downloading scripts

Torrents

Warez

Cracked/pirated content of any kind

letting users to upload files and images is counted as file storing, which is not allowed.

bjs.w.204 · January 4, 2021, 7:20am

Even as their profile image?

anon19508339 · January 4, 2021, 7:21am

no, possible they upload malwares under umbrella of images files, consider to use external tools as AmazonS3

bjs.w.204 · January 4, 2021, 7:43am

So, can anyone guide me how to use GitHub repository as file storage and connect it to my website for using GitHub repository instead of InfinityFree storage?
