Unable to import shapefile (zip) into ArcGIS Online

Question

I searched on this topic online and it appears that ESRI has had the same problem in the past.  It appears to be happening again.  I have an organization license of ArcGIS and go to load simple shape files (zipped) and the error message said the files is too big and unable to load.  Not sure what else to do.  I am using Safari and one of the files is only 183k- yep "K".

Any help would be appreciated.

How you upload? using the UX or using Portal API. You need to be sure you are define the type of the file when uploading.

I am still not able to upload a shapefile (tried at 2:40PM today) and when I tried to add a zipped version as a file GDB, I got a different error telling me it cannot load "shapefile".  Please help.  I'm stuck and can't get a simple map published to my client.  Never had this issue before.

Thanks Khaled.  Interesting, I have never had issues prior until I renewed my ArcGIS license recently.  I've tried multiple share-files and none seem to load zipped up.  I haven't tried fileGDB but can do that and see what happens.
