ArcGIS Experience Builder- Does not support Google Drive Files in Maps

[Amanda__Huber]

Hello EB Team, 

It appears that an Esri supported workflow is not supported within your product:

When adding a referenced Google Drive csv to our map and adding the map to Experience Builder, the experience says that the data is not supported. 

Please advise!

Thank you, 

Amanda Huber

I can't find in any documentation on it at the moment, but I am pretty sure that a csv is only considered a valid data source for Experience Builder if it is a hosted feature service.

Hi @JeffreyThompson2 ,

Thanks for the response!

For the option we're using, the first one in the ArcGIS Blog Article and the only one I can find that allows "referencing" the sheet (supporting real time edits/updates), I don't believe it  "Hosts" the file in AGOL, at least in the traditional manner with item details and everything. Here's a video I found of the workflow- https://youtu.be/avrVc4QGwWU 

That being said, since it's a supported/suggested workflow for Esri I believe it should be supported in other products.

Best, 

Amanda

Ok, I see in the ESRI blog that it converts the csv to a hosted feature layer. That should be a valid data source in Experience Builder. Maybe, there is an additional step like re-adding the layer to the webmap from the feature layer?

Hi @JeffreyThompson2 , 

That workflow doesn't support adding a Google Drive CSV as "referenced". Only by adding in the web map do we get this option.

I'm going back to my original answer, if you don't create some sort of hosted feature, a csv is not a valid Experience Builder data source.
