How to upload files to the GeoShare

The GeoShare allows for centralized storage of geo data, which can easily be reused in multiple Projects by other Users. Data on the GeoShare can be browsed and imported on-demand, or can be automatically included in newly created Projects through Geoplugins.

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Geo import (Ribbon bar) → Geo Share (Dropdown)

Notes

• For any given file, you can click the entry to open the file in a web browser. This way, the url of the file can be obtained.
  • If the browser prompts a download of the file, accept the download, and then check the web browser's download history to obtain the url the file originated from.
