Additional Information

ArcGIS Online hosted feature data is stored in a format suited to and optimized for its underlying data store and therefore cannot be directly compared to the storage required for the equivalent feature data in an ArcGIS Enterprise implementation. Additionally, the hosted feature data may consume more storage space than it would in a compressed file-based format such as a file geodatabase, shapefile, or service definition stored on the file system. As data becomes more complex with increasing fields, indexes, data constraints, vertices, multipart features, attachments, and data types (text, numeric, binary, and spatial), the variation between the pre-published and the published feature data storage sizes may be more significant. Because of these variables, there is no standard ratio that can estimate the size of a local file before it is added to ArcGIS Online.
