I have created my account autonomous free database on oracle cloud. How I upload my current data backup taking from data pump (expdp )or simple export (exp) on autonomous cloud and how I take & download backup from that. I just created database and configure oracle apex. My dump file size is only 15MB. I download wallet and connect using sqlplus its working but when I tried to import data from imp command (exported using exp ) i got message
IMP-00013 only a DBA can import a file exported by another DBA. I tried with admin user.

can you guide me how i do it with right way.

Get the latest oracle client which has a new more improved data pump and then you can follow the example here

The other option is to use an object store for your dump file. Tim Hall has a nice write up on that here
