Share Package (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Shares a package by uploading it to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise.

Usage

  • The following are supported package types:

  • The package file size limit is 500 GB. For more information, see Considerations and limitations.

    Tip:

    If you have a scene layer package that is larger than 500 GB and want to publish it as a web scene layer to ArcGIS Online, add it to a 3D scene and share it as a web scene instead. The scene layer package is published as a web scene layer with the web scene. If you have a scene layer package in a scene, you can share it as a web scene layer directly. Right-click the layer, point to the Sharing menu, and click Share As Web Layer .

  • You cannot enter your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise username and password when using this tool in ArcGIS Pro. The tool will obtain your credentials from ArcGIS Pro. You must be signed in and connected to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise before you can share a package using this tool.

  • A summary and one or more tags are required when sharing a package to an ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 or earlier portal. The summary and tags, along with an optional package description and credits, will be used when searching for packages online.

  • If a package of the same name exists in your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise organization, it will be overwritten.

  • If you share a tile package, scene layer package, or vector tile package, you can publish the package automatically as a web layer of the corresponding type. (A tile package is published as a web tile layer, a scene layer package as a web scene layer, and a vector tile package as a vector tile layer.) To publish a web layer successfully, you must have the necessary privileges in your active portal account.

  • To share a package to ArcGIS Online with a public account, your Esri Global Account must be registered as a member of ArcGIS Online. To create and register an Esri Global Account, go to arcgis.com/home/signup.html.
