Data Uploads

Add private exploration data or curated sample datasets, then let Mineflow index the files into searchable map and document workflows.

Getting Started with Uploads

New accounts start in onboarding, where you can select sample datasets or switch to your own files. Existing users can open Files and click Upload. Project pages also expose upload actions when you want the new files associated with that project.

Use Sample Datasets

Add curated Mineflow examples such as drill CSVs, public reports, a shapefile bundle, a mineral occurrence spreadsheet, a geological map PDF, and a NetCDF magnetic survey.

Upload Files

Drag and drop files, click Choose files, or select several related sidecar files together.

Upload Folders

Choose a folder when you have shapefile sidecars, File Geodatabases, ADF grids, MapInfo bundles, or mixed project folders.

Paste a Cloud Link

Submit a Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or SharePoint link. For private folders, grant access to the Mineflow account shown in the upload dialog before continuing.

Sample Datasets

Sample datasets are real files copied into your drive and indexed like your own uploads. They are useful for evaluating the flow before uploading a private project or for quickly testing maps, search, and 3D workflows.

  • Tairao Iron Technical Report
  • Drilling Results at Sandstone Gold
  • Agnico Eagle YTD Exploration Results
  • Aeromagnetic Map of Kepenkeck Lake
  • Vermont Bedrock Outcroppings
  • Santana Gold Drill Assays
  • Northern Territory Mineral Occurrences
  • Lake Muir Magnetic Survey

After Upload

Mineflow creates file entries in your drive, starts an indexing job, extracts drill and non-drill data where possible, and makes indexed results available in Files, Search, Map Search, Documents, and 3D workflows depending on what the files contain.

What Data Should I Upload?

Upload the project folder, not just the cleaned table. Reports, maps, drill collars, assays, lithology, geochemistry, geophysics, property outlines, mineral occurrences, geological interpretations, and supporting metadata can all help Mineflow understand the exploration context.

See Supported File Formats for format-level support and Supported Data Types for the geological categories Mineflow tries to classify after ingestion.

Best Practices

  • Upload complete project folders when you are unsure what matters.
  • Keep GIS and geophysical sidecars beside their primary files.
  • Include reports and presentations, not only extracted tables.
  • Use original file names where possible; they often contain project, date, and survey context.
  • Confirm coordinate reference systems when you know them, but do not block on perfect cleanup before uploading.
