Seems odd that there are thousands of post with the same issue yet there is no official guidance, job aid or best practices document on the issue from Articulate. I have looked through hundreds of post with pieces of information but none have panned out for me or others. We all get the same - the item downloads or the page is blank with a download option.
Please don't point me to another post as I have seen/tried them all.
For one of my clients, I used to load courses on SharePoint all the time. I'd give folks the URL to the story.html file, and they could go through the course. I never had a problem with that.
Thus, it seems likely that this issue is connected to how a given SharePoint site is set up. I'm not familiar with SharePoint settings, but my best guess is that there's something that controls whether the site acts as a file repository or whether it can also act as a web server.
I can understand why Articulate doesn't offer "official guidance" on SharePoint or on specific LMS's. There are simply too many variables out of their control.
While I agree this is extremely frustrating, it is an issue with the functionality of SharePoint, not with Articulate products. As Judy alluded to, SharePoint does not function as a full web server.
