How to add a hosted feature layer to AGOL on a free account?

[BarrettLewis]

Hi, I'm attempting to make an interactive map for a client. I set them up with a free account, and I'd really like to add all the data that I'm working with in ArgPro directly to the content in their account, preferably as a .gdb because there is related tables that will get lost if I do it by individual layer or shapefile. However, when I add a .gdb to the free account, it only shows up in a way where I can only download it. In addition, this is also how layers and shapefiles work. I can't get any of the data to actually show up in a new AGOL map. Basically, nothing is being added as a hosted feature layer. The only work around is if I host the data on my organizational account, but this is not a good work around as it may get deleted at some point. Is there any way to add a hosted feature layer to a free AGOL account, or is my current work around the only way?

Hi Barrett,

A public account can only create web maps, scenes, and apps:
