I followed the Esri Help below* and uploaded a CSV file as an item at AGOL here:

http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/329e35d49dbb4d18b3c44a57e4af71f0/data

Shared with      Everyone (public)

Yet I got this error:

The CSV, http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/329e35d49dbb4d18b3c44a57e4af71f0/data, is not accessible and cannot be added to the map.

Can anyone say why?

Btw, I confirmed that the same CSV can be uploaded directly to the map, no problem.  Shows up fine that way.

Thanks,

Don

* Esri Help says:

"You can add supported files from your computer to [AGOL] and share them so others can download and open the files in desktop applications. When you share CSV files with everyone (public), you can use the URL that appears in the item details page to add the CSV as a web layer. In addition, organizational accounts can add image files and use the URL to show images in web apps, pop-ups, and so on. You need to share the CSV and image files with everyone (public) to see the URL in the item details page."

Don,

I have just tested the same work flow as you have with a csv file that I know works if i just add it from file. I uploaded the file to arcgis online, shared it with everyone then tried to add it to a map via add layer from web and I am getting the same error that the file is not acessable.

The same file works from my dropbox account:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25829160/Classic%20Bitters.csv

It must be a bug.

Hi Don,

It's a bug planned to be fixed in the next website update (September). This did work before but at some point recently stopped working. As nothing has been changed related to this functionality, we suspect browser updates may be the culprit (though that seems incongruent with the fact that it's an issue across all browsers..). Regardless, we have a fix internally that will be included in next month's release.

Thanks,

Chris
