I am curious as to how you would link a button within the module to a document in the resources area. I have a trigger set up to that the button Jumps to URL/File and I typed in "/story_content/external_files/FILENAMEHERE" and named the file according the the file uploaded to the resources section. However, when posted to a content link, I am getting a 404. I've tried everything. I have even uploaded the file from my server, however, that is NOT a solution as those who do not have access to my server will not be able to open the documents.
Did anyone find a solution to this issue? I'm having the same problem--four years later. I linked to PDFs in the resources section as described above, and the training keeps pushing 404 errors out whenever someone tries to click the link or click on the in-training resources under the resources tab.
Articulate Storyline lets you add supplementary files and web links to your course player. If you attach a file to your player, you can also link to that same file from any slide in your course. Here's how.

works fine for me, are you testing online?
I would check your case because it is probably going onto a unix machine and that would cause problems.

I am testing through our content site online. I have attached my .story file. Please let me know how to make this solution. Thanks!

Write the trigger to link to where the file is now, and let SL up load and manage it when you publish.
Hi Pam!
Here is our documentation on the above:
