I need to be able to post my course work developed in both Storyline and Studio so that others can view them. The cost of using Articulate Online is too high for my purposes. I have sites on 1and1.com and Register.com but have been unable to upload published course folders without jumping through way too many hoops. Does anyone have any suggestions for allowing others to view samples of published course work simply and easily?
Both solutions posted will work, just remember that Dropbox may give you some performance problems depending on the content/size of your courses as it does not cache the same way.
Hi Michael! If having it online for 10 days is long enough Tempshare is super quick and easy. (After 10 days it gets deleted) In addition to Dropbox, some other common options include Google Drive and Amazon S3. You can find some details on each of these options here.
I'm not sure what your goal is (sharing with clients, potential clients, course users, SME's, etc.), but I use Google Drive for a couple of situations:
1. If I'm working with an SME that doesn't have Articulate, I will share the latest version any time major updates are made during the creation/production phase on Google Drive and email them the link.
2. I also use it to administer our eLearning courses to temporary employees. We hire a lot of temps and don't generally provide accounts for them in our LMS. I keep a bookmark on the computers in our training room with links to the courses they will need to complete. They print their quiz scores as documentation.
I've tried to host on dropbox but it doesn't seem to work. I heard that people who have more lately signed up to Dropbox don't have an option for a public folder. Is this accurate?
A-ha! Thanks Phil. In case others are interested, I was able to do this by following the link towards the bottom of this article, which took me here. Note: I was already signed into Dropbox.
Question: I'm assuming that anything posted into the public folder is Googleable, unlike Tempshare which would not be. Correct?

Try using dropbox.

You can ftp up to 1and1, just set up a subdomain.

You can add a public folder but don't get it set up by default

I don't think that public folders can be searched by google
Hi Michael,
Have you tried free LMS platforms? I heard the MOOLA is free with certain restrictions. I would look for free LMS hosting.
