Upload several files at once, and replace a layer's data later. Drag a Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, CSV, Excel, GeoTIFF, or other file onto your map, or use **Upload Anything** in the center of the toolbar at the top of the map. Felt turns data files into layers you can style, filter, and analyze. Images and PDFs become annotations you can move and resize. Felt places spreadsheet rows using addresses, coordinates, or place names. See [Spreadsheets and geocoding](/upload-anything/files/spreadsheets-and-geocoding.md). For all supported formats, see [Supported file types](/upload-anything/files/supported-file-types.md). ## Upload a file 1. In the toolbar, click **Upload Anything** ![](https://217108486-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FmRfGitkyjOEMvVsEyGWN%2Fuploads%2FnwKMjNT6E1km4CtnHkqf%2F24.svg?alt=media\&token=9e98d9c4-35a3-416a-8802-b4e366c722cb) > **Upload file**. 2. Select one or more files on your computer and confirm. Data layers appear in the legend when processing finishes. You can also press **Cmd+U** (Mac) or **Ctrl+U** (Windows) to go straight to choosing a file. Upload Anything also adds data from links, QGIS, and connected sources. See [Add data from URLs](/upload-anything/urls.md), [QGIS plugin](/upload-anything/qgis-plugin.md), and [Add a source](/upload-anything/data-sources/add-a-source.md). {% embed url="" fullWidth="false" %} ## Upload several files at once Upload Anything accepts up to 25 files at a time, and browser uploads can be up to 100 GB each. See [Data limits](/upload-anything/data-limits.md). Each data file becomes its own layer, with two exceptions: * Files that belong together, such as a Shapefile's parts (`.shp`, `.shx`, `.dbf`, `.prj`) or an image and its world file, become one layer. * A file with several datasets, such as a workbook with several tabs or a GeoPackage with several tables, becomes a [layer group](/layers/organize-layers.md) with one layer per dataset. Felt reads files inside `.zip`, `.7z`, `.rar`, `.tar`, and `.gz` archives, so you don't need to unzip them. To upload a folder, such as a File Geodatabase (`.gdb`), compress it into a `.zip` file first. ## What happens after you upload Felt processes each data file, reprojects it for display, and adds a layer with the file's name and a default style. When a vector file has no projection, such as a Shapefile without its `.prj` file, Felt assumes latitude and longitude (EPSG:4326). Each upload counts toward the workspace's monthly processing. See [Plan usage](/plans-and-billing/plan-usage.md). If an upload fails or the data lands in the wrong place, see [Troubleshooting uploads](/upload-anything/files/troubleshooting-uploads.md). ## Update an uploaded layer Uploading a data file creates a new layer; it doesn't replace an existing layer or add data to it. To replace a layer's data and keep its styling, use **Upload new version** at the bottom of the layer's **Data** tab, or open the layer's **ยทยทยท** menu in the legend and click **Actions** > **Upload new version**. See [Refresh data](/upload-anything/refresh-data.md). To stack features from two layers into one, ask Felt AI, because the **Analysis** tool can't append layers. See [Combine layers](/analysis-and-dashboards/spatial-analysis.md#combine-layers). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.felt.com/upload-anything/files.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
