ArcGIS Online Sharing

ArcGIS Online Sharing provides users with the capability to share and find geographic information. The free Web application makes it easy to upload and share content as well as find content published by ESRI, ArcGIS users, and other authoritative data providers.

ArcGIS Online Sharing is a free membership system that allows you to create groups, join groups, and control access to the items you want to share publicly or within groups. By joining, you become part of a large community of GIS users who share a common interest in collaborating and sharing their GIS work.

ArcGIS Online Sharing (currently in public beta)

Through the ArcGIS Online Sharing application, you can

• Access a central repository of GIS content and capabilities over the Web.
• Upload, share, and find maps, layers, layer packages, services, and tools.
• Create Web maps with zero programming through the built-in map viewer application and share them with others.
• Save time and money by accessing ready-to-use foundation services with no additional investment in infrastructure.

ArcGIS Online Sharing is hosted by ESRI, so all you need is an Internet browser. Any of the shared items can be executed directly from ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Explorer.
