error in opening shapefile

[RupsaBhowmick]

I have an error opening this shapefile. I tried to upload the file but it exceeds 50 mb so unable to upload it. Can you please help me to solve this problem.

The error would be highly useful... but in any case ensure there are at least 3 files (one unnecessary as memory serves)... a *.dbf a *.shx and a *.shp  where * is the file's name ie test.shp, test.dbf etc.  Any other files are either projection (*.prj) files or index etc files.

So confirm that all the bits exist, and post the error message

... and if possible move this post to Managing Data since this https://community.esri.com/community/help-and-feedback is for questions regarding the use of GeoNet.

Thank you so much Dan Patterson‌ for the reply. I have downloaded the other files you mentioned with the shape file. And it works. It is a big help to my project.

Are you trying to upload it in Map Viewer of ArcGIS Online? Then, you should know FAQ: Is there a feature limit in ArcGIS Online? .

By default, there is a limit of 1,000 features when uploading a file (shapefile or CSV file) to a web map on ArcGIS Online.

To upload a file beyond the feature limit set by ArcGIS Online, use feature services. 

Feature Services can be published to ArcGIS Online from ArcMap. Publish hosted feature layers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS
