ArcGIS Hub Blog

ArcGIS Hub released a beta capability last week called “hosted downloads,” designed to improve reliability and performance of downloads from hosted servers. In this blog post, we will briefly cover how downloads currently work and what issues hosted downloads aims to solve.

Over the past month, we've added some new features and capabilities to ArcGIS Hub:

• Ability to add custom distribution to feeds (e.g., DCAT)
• A new save button for editing datasets
• New and updated ArcGIS Solutions
• Shareable application cards
• Alert on site cloning to prevent unpublished sites from accidentally being cloned
• Ability to view private services in the API Explorer

Google will be replacing Universal Analytics with Google Analytics in July 2023. The ArcGIS Hub team is working to enable support for the new Measurement ID format in advance of Google's update.

We've made improvements to the open data side of Hub, including a more prominent search bar and a change to how DCAT license fields are handled. Check out the post to learn more.

The data you download is important. So is the reliability and predictability of the system that delivers it. That's why starting in 2022, Hub is transitioning the download system to use native capabilities of an ArcGIS core product–hosted Feature Services. You'll get your downloads faster and with fewer hiccups.

Read about important upcoming changes that may impact you and the roadmap ahead.
