Any item in Ellipsis Drive is referred to as a path. A path can be a folder, a file or a layer. Folders and files are similar to what you are used to in a regular file system. Layers within Ellipsis Drive are the holders of spatial data. These layers can be of type vector, raster and point cloud.
Vector Layer
A layer created for hosting vector data
Raster Layer
A layer created for hosting raster data
Point cloud Layer
A layer created for hosting point cloud data
Every Layer you create is a fully interoperable web-map that is ready for high performance use by any audience you authorise.

It's best to define Layers as logical units of data. So, if you have a .gdb or .gpkg with (for example) data on streets, points of interest and buildings in it, it's best to pull it apart and upload the streets, points of interest and buildings data to three separate layers. That makes your data management more much flexible, modular and scalable
