Object Expected Error when viewing a Storyline file via Web

Hi
I am trying to publish a Storyline file to Web so that I can share via Dropbox, Hightail or other Web medium. I'd like to submit my first contribution to the weekly Articulate challenge!
I have not done this before as I generally publish to an LMS.
The story.html file previews fine on my desktop but when I add it to Dropbox and ask my colleague to test he can not view the file and gets a blank screen - error messages are visible bottom left of the browser window and say Object Expected (it happens to me as well when I try to view the file that way. I'm just adding the story.html file - do I need to add anything else, do anything to it?
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - can anyone help?!
thanks
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
You have to add whole output folder to dropbox instead of story.html file, because it contains all the resources and story content into it.
Thanks. I'm still having problems - If I zip them then the file the user has to extract the file and there is no way to view it.
Hi Sarah,
Have you tried to upload the published output folder as is - not zipping it?
You'll want to follow the directions shared here.
Thanks Ashley - that was really helpful!
Happy to hear it Sarah - and feel free to let us know if you need anything else!
