Local File Upload

Earthscale allows you to upload folders or individual files from your machine to share and serve alongside other cloud-based datasets.

To upload data, first click "Add new dataset" and expand the menu option "Upload local files".

Next, select the file or directory you'd like to upload. The data can be in any format readable by Earthscale, e.g., individual GeoTIFFs, GeoJSON, mosaics, Zarr, and more.

As a shortcut to this, at any time you can also directly drag and drop data from your file explorer into Earthscale without opening the "Add new dataset" panel.

Next, the dataset will begin uploading to Earthscale. The data is automatically copied to a private Google Cloud Storage bucket hosted by Earthscale.

Once the upload finishes, you can register the dataset and add it to your map.

You can also immediately serve the dataset in your own applications like any other Earthscale dataset. You can read more about that process in Use Earthscale in Your Products.
