ArcGIS Online: feature storage

Overview

Feature storage in ArcGIS Online refers to the storage used by hosted feature layers. This type of ArcGIS Online item contains geographic data represented as points, lines, and polygons, and supports the editing and analysis tools offered by ArcGIS Online. Feature storage is the most resource-intensive, and therefore expensive, type of storage on the platform. UofT has a shared limit of 500 GB across all users.
