Manage portal connections

To use Drone2Map, you need an ArcGIS Online subscription or ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Either type of account can be used for licensing Drone2Map and sharing content from Drone2Map. You can use the same account for licensing and sharing, or you can connect to multiple portals and use one account for licensing and another account for sharing. Connections can be added, activated, removed, and edited from the Portals page. Additionally, you can switch your active portal from the Sign In menu in the upper right corner of Drone2Map. Use the table below to determine what portal type and version is required for licensing and sharing.

Set as an active sharing portal

By default, your licensing portal is your active sharing portal. Your sharing portal connection is your online workspace. You can access content from your active sharing portal by clicking Add Data on the Home tab of the ribbon. Layers shared from Drone2Map will be shared to your active sharing portal. You can switch between portals by changing which sharing portal is set to active.

There are two ways to make a sharing portal connection active:

1. Activate it from the Portals page.
   1. From an open project, on the ribbon, click the Project tab. Alternatively, from the start page, click About Drone2Map.
   2. Click the Portals tab.
   3. Right-click the desired URL from the portal connection list and click Set As Active Portal.
2. Activate it from the Sign In menu.
   1. From an open project, click your username in the upper right corner.
   2. On the Sign In menu, click Switch Active Portal. Select the desired URL from the drop-down menu.

Note:

While you may be signed in to multiple portals, you can only have one active sharing portal.

Remove and edit sharing portal connections

To remove a portal connection, right click the specific portal URL in the list and choose Remove Portal Connection from the menu.
