Uploading files - unrecognized file type

[NoelGurwick]

I am using map viewer and generally have not had an issue. I and several colleagues have successfully uploaded and managed data layers. I am now trying to upload a data layer and am getting the message "This file type is not supported."

A colleague, using MapViewer through a different institution, was able to upload the data layers to a different map without a problem. And I can read them into QGIS without a problem.

The file I am trying to upload is a zip file. It includes the following file types: jpg, dbf, prj, sbn, sbx, she, xml, shx. 

Any suggestions about why this might not be working and what I need to do in order to upload these files much appreciated.

Hey @NoelGurwick 

In those filetypes you've listed, only .XML and .JPG actually are supported by ArcGIS Online for upload. What you may be looking for is a .shp for shapefile. I would unpack the ZIP and attempt to upload each of the files to see if it will upload correctly for one of them. This is what I normally see inside of my zip files here:

Here is a link to the supported file types:
