I cannot import a shapefile to ArcGIS online.

I am having issues importing a shapefile to ArcGIS online. Import fails and no error message is presented. I am also able to open the shapefile in other applications.

Please help.

What workflow are you using? There's no error message, even if you look under Geoprocessing > Results > Current Session? It's hard to help you troubleshoot without more information...

Are you able to post the shapefile here?

Yes it is zipped.

I think that I was able to add the shapefile, but I cannot visualize it.

I see you are adding the shapefile from the Map Viewer. Have you tried adding the zipped shapefile as an item from the content page?

Make sure you check the box to publish as a hosted layer when you upload it.

The checkbox is not an option in my "Add an item from my computer" modal.
