Dropbox uploading instructions

May 26, 2014

Hi there,

Does anyone have a guide to uploading Articulate Storyline modules onto Dropbox? I've never done this before, so your help would be much appreciated.

I've read some of the previous posts on Dropbox and the issues. Has anyone used Dropbox lately to share your training? What was your experience?  

The LMS we use is outdated, which is why I'm using Dropbox to share the training with others.

Thank you!

Hi Manisha! Here is how I would do it. 

1. Create a folder named “Public” (if it is not already there) in your Dropbox account. Next, you will need to visit this page to enable the public folder on your account. 

2. Upload your entire published Storyline output folder to Dropbox  into the Public folder

3. Right click on the story.html file and copy the public link

4. Paste that link into your browser to view your course.

Manisha,

I know you asked Mike, but I'll say as a frequent dropbox user, it's just a matter of sending them the URL. Having all of the contents of the folder in dropbox enables the content within the course to work (they need to call to that public folder or some content may not appear) but your end user only needs the link to the published story.html file. If you literally follow Mike's steps you should be fine. You can post the link in an e-mail, on a sharepoint site or other similar location, etc. and it should work. The only thing you won't get is any kind of tracking of views, etc. I believe.
