Unable to upload zipped shapefile

Question

Hi

I am new to ArcGIS online. I have successfully imported zipped shapefiles into ArcGIS Online, but I have am struggling with 2 datasets. The geometry is correct, its singlepart polygons. I initially thought it was file size but I see in previous threads wrt this issue, file size was not a problem.

I have attached the zip file for your assistance.

Thanks

I am also having problems uploading a zip file - I am trying to create a web map from a zipped shapefile on my computer. As far as I can tell the zipped file meets all the criteria necessary (less than 1000 records, less than 10mb in size, no special characters or spaces in the name etc), but I get an error message saying the file is too large. I tried the workaround listed above, and am able to add the file to my content, but I can't then add it to a web map, so that's not going to work for me! Please can you help?

Great to hear! I found the technical article below and it explicitly says that zipped shapefiles over 10MB cannot be added directly to the map.

Problem: Receiving errors when uploading a shapefile to ArcGIS Online, Business Analyst Online, or Community Analyst

Have a great rest of your day!

Hi

Thank you, your workflow, worked like a bomb.

I don't suppose you know the max file for the workflow I used.

Thanks
