Unable to add 'My Content' to ArcGIS Online

Question

I have just uploaded a couple of project datasets to 'My Content' and then tried to add them to a map using ArcGIS Online but am not able to find them when searching for them and therefore not able to add them to the map.

One datasets is a shapefile and the other a file geodatabase.

I have shared them, added them to a group I created but nothing seems to work.

Is there a delay between adding data and then being able to add to a map?

Do I need to do something to the data to enable it to be added to my maps online i.e. create a layer, etc?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Dean

I added both a shapefile and file geodatabase to my content but can't even use them on my own map

Hi Dean,

I guess, You cannot add the geodatabase feature classes on the map, even if you have added it to "My Content". The goal of adding the native GIS data formats is to share the data for download by the shared group.

You can add shapefile (zipped) with upto 1000 records on your Map.

Else, sharing the services would be the optimal option.

Thanks,

Jay

Thanks Jay, I am sure the approach you suggest will work but it just does not make sense that if I load datasets in native Esri GIS format that it is not accessible, even to myself.
