Shapefile upload issues
Last updated
When uploading a Shapefile, you must upload the entire dataset as a compressed .zip file, not just the .shp file.
A valid Shapefile upload typically includes multiple files, such as:
.shp (geometry)
.shx (shape index)
.dbf (attributes)
.prj (projection information)
These files must all be included in a single .zip archive.
Uploads fail when:
only the .shp file is uploaded
required companion files are missing from the archive
Without the full set, the dataset cannot be reconstructed correctly.
