I have been trying to open a large (350 mb) storyline file on an iPad and I'm having trouble getting the file to the iPad. Unfortunately, I have been asked to use Storyline to create a very large project, so I am unable to test it on the iPad using tempshare.
I have tried getting the file to the iPad through DropBox, but the tutorials I see here on the site all require the DropBox public folder - which is now only available to Pro users!
Does anyone know of any other tutorial or workaround to get this large file to an iPad? I'm just trying to test it right now.
Christine's options are a better idea, but I also wanted to address the issue of Public Folders in Dropbox. According to a Dropbox support page, you CAN still enable a public folder
They describe here why you don't need a public folder anymore (according to them), but the go on to say:
If you'd like to enable a Public folder on a new account, see the instructions below (Creating a Public folder) to learn more.
So, just wanted to throw that info up here for anyone who might find it useful.
I've been thinking about it is possibleto goa different way when the storrylinefiles oftenare very heavy,because thereare a lots ofvideofiles,and there are very large.
Let's saythatmaybethere are 10video files in a production andthe user maybe only wantsto see two of them,then we havedownloaded8aboutfileswe dontneeded.!
InStoryline there is a function calledWebobjekt?
Mayby we couldlink to the video fileswiththe webobjektinside a new slide for every video and setwebobjektto onlydownload the filewhenclicked.
Could itbe a possibilityfor large video files? Will it work on a Ipad?
What did the expert means about that way to do it?
I just wanted to note - I did see that Dropbox does give you the ability to enable the Public folder, but the option to enable this folder is only available to "Pro and Dropbox for Business users".
Getting a public folder now requires getting a paid Dropbox account.

Hi Nicole,
It sounds like the issue is the host at this point, so it may be good to look for some other hosting options.
I suggest using SCORM Cloud for your course - it's a great place to test SCORM content.
You're always welcome to try out Articulate Online, as well - it's available for a free 30 day trial.
If you try either of those options and still have trouble, please let us know.
Thanks!

Ah, Nicole,tx for the update. That's relatively new, I think ;(. Tx for clarifying for anyone who accesses this page.
