Has anyone tried to host a course on Amazon Cloud? I am
using Storyline and colleague of mine said you could, but when I uploaded the
files (see attached image) the course would not load, it’s just blank, I don’t
even get a player.
We tried using Google, but with Corp. firewall it will not work.
I don't have any experience loading a course onto Amazon cloud - but based on your image it looks like all the files uploaded. When you click on the story.html file nothing opens but a blank html page? Have you looked at Dropbox or even Amazon S3?
Dropbox is another cloud/storage site - although it can be installed as a folder on your local drive making it really easy to access content and files. To upload a published course to Dropbox you'll want to follow along with the steps David goes through here:
You'll need a to use the public link or public folder to share it with others - and there is some additional discussion in this thread, and troubleshooting users went through that may help if you run into any issues.
Another option is to host on Google Cloud (this is different from Google Drive). I tested this to compare the process to Amazon Web Services... it's quite similar.

Hi Melissa,

I have not looked at Drop Box, Amazon S3 is not an option for me to look at as a consultant, but I can pass that along. How would Drop Box work?
