- ArcGIS.com
- Javascript Applications and API
- Flex API and Silverlight API

- ArcGIS for iOS
- Anything that can connect with the GeoServices REST Specification
- OpenLayers
- Polymaps
- Using the built-in Datasource and Tileset APIs
You can also create and upload Map Tiles and Feature Attachments (photos, videos etc). Both are subject to your plan's Storage limit.
Mobile Data Collection
Collect field data using smartphone applications like ArcGIS for iOS or FieldAssets. Connect with your Cloud and gather feature edits in real time!
Synchronize with your Desktop
The Arc2Earth Scheduler can connect with your Cloud Instance and monitor all edits for any layer. It will then automatically keep your local ArcGIS datasource synchronized with your Cloud layers

Easy Authentication and Authorization
Once you create you Cloud Instance, you have full control over who can access your data. Users of your data logon using Google Account credentials, the same values they would use to access to GMail. You can optional include their email adresses in Read/Write/Admin ACL lists for any of your datasources or tilesets. Users will only be able to see or edit what you allow them to.
Arc2Cloud connects to Google Fusion Tables using private and secure OAuth tokens so you never have to give us your passwords!
You can change any of these settings directly from your web based Admin Dashboard
