Problem uploading shapefile to ArcGIS Online

STEVERICHARDSON1 — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 16:25:32 GMT

I have a zipped file, 2.7MB that won't upload. AGOL says it's "too large" and that I should buy an AGOL subscription - which I already have. £139 worth. Not a bargain, currently.

Looked at the community pages - they suggest a different browser (tried) or using incognito mode (tried) but without success.

I'm using a MacBook Air (for a few years now with no issues), iOS 12.2 Monterey.

Chrome: Version 98.0.4758.80 (Official Build) (x86_64)

Any offers pointers gratefully received.

PS: I used to work for ESRI - now I'm just a punter. Probably won't renew.

Hey Steve

Try to load the ZIP file first in your content (in upper left corner choose NEW ITEM), then drag your ZIP in there, the system will recognize your shapefile then choose Add ZIP and create a hosted feature layer. Once created, you can add it to your web map

Good luck

Thanks for your response. I don't get the option to save as a Feature Layer. I guess I'm not paying ESRI enough money for this option.

Hello,

I am having a similar issue. I was sent a zipped shape file. I have added into my contents, but when I try to add it as a layer it's not there?
