I'm trying to ingest a .shp file into my Google Earth Engine code editor, but it is giving an error message "File upload unsuccessful (Error: HTTP error error 500)" I know that this isn't a problem with the .shp file itself since I got the same error using another file I uploaded yesterday without issue. I am also uploading the other files needed (.dbf, .shx), and I even made another account using a different Google email address and still am facing the same issue. Are there any ideas out there?

I know ee has a vertice limit. I've run into that before where I couldn't upload the file due to exceeding it. Can you give us an indication of this? If you think this might be the culprit, here's another post whose sought to simplify their geometry. And here is the QGIS link.

If that doesn't work, I would also suggest using QGIS's 'Repair Shapefile' function before uploading.

  • I don't think it is a vertice limit, the shp file is about 3.5 million rows long but it doesn't have any properties (just points, it's a grid over the geography) and so I don't want to simplify the geography here – Frank Gentile Mar 20 '24 at 19:37
  • That's a pretty big file. Have you tried to just upload a sample? Say, 1,000 rows? – syer Mar 21 '24 at 12:28
