I enjoy the quick "how to" demos of the various techniques, but I want to know how to publish a course that can be launched easily from the web like the demos. I can "publish to web", but the recipient has to save the zip file then extract it, etc. in order view what I created. I appreciate your help.
Publish to Web. Then upload the content of the publish folder to a web server (or an alternative like TempShare or GoogleDrive). Then send the URL of the story.html, e.g. "http://myserver.com/mycourse/story.html"to the learners. The can simply launch the course from that URL in their browsers.
Thank you... I published the .zip folder and uploaded to my google drive, but it does not let me do anything to the player.html. I cannot click, copy etc. Please advise... I appreciate your assistance.
The video was very helpful although it did not allow me to drag over folders. I had to import all the files independently. I allowed public access, I renamed player.html to index.html, I copied the last digits and pasted into the URL googledrive.com/host/ but I get a 404 error.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thank you again for your assistance.
Thank you,

Please let me know if I am following the correct procedure and if I have omitted anything…
1. Published my course to WEB
2. My output is a data folder, a player folder and a player.html file
3. Since I cannot copy folders into google drive, I opened the data and player folders as well as any internal folders and copied over all files including the player.html file. Total of 79
4. I have changed sharing permissions on the folder as well as all files to PUBLIC
5. I changed the name of player.html to index.html
Thank you for your assistance. I finally got everything figured out. The key here is that you need to upload to googledrive while using google Chrome. The Screenr does not indicate that. Same is true if you want to use dropbox, you must upload your output file while using Chrome.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out Terry. I always use Chrome for anything related to Google services, e.g. Hangouts, Gmail, etc. Now I remember why I started doing that!

The zipped folder will not work, you need to use unzipped content. Here is a link to a screenr that describes how to set up content for GoogleDrive: https://player.vimeo.com/video/149073275 and here is an interesting discussion thread: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/can-i-see-an-articulate-demo-on-google-drive
Excellent… I will give that a try.

I can only guess here, but it still sounds like your content folder on GoogleDrive is not correctly set for sharing.
Please let me know if I am following the correct procedure and if I have omitted anything…
1. Published my course to WEB
2. My output is a data folder, a player folder and a player.html file
3. Since I cannot copy folders into google drive, I opened the data and player folders as well as any internal folders and copied over all files including the player.html file. Total of 79
4. I have changed sharing permissions on the folder as well as all files to PUBLIC
5. I changed the name of player.html to index.html
6. I copied the last characters of https://drive.google.com/?tab=io#folders/0B3K7AQAXo5oUaWViZDdpUzlOdTA and pasted at the end of www.googledrive.com/host/0B3K7AQAXo5oUaWViZDdpUzlOdTA
7. At this point I get blank page. Same procedure and similar result with dropbox.
Again, I appreciate any guidance with this issue.

Hello,
I just downloaded Chrome and it works just as the Screenr, but it ONLY works in Chrome. I cannot get it to work with IE…any suggestions?

Is the previous conversation still relevant?
Hi Christina...not for me. I am using the Amazon S3 / Cloudberry solution and it works great.
