Can't open Storyline project after free trial!

Hi, am hoping that someone may be able to hlep me...

I finished my free Articulate trial of  a couple weeks ago and published my Storyline360 project to web, as I was under the impression that I'd be able to view it and share it with others at a later date. 

However, I tried to open the story link on another laptop but the link doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong or did my project not save properly?? 

Please help, as I really need this for my final project for a diploma I'm doing...

I've attached a screenshot with link and what's in the zip file if that's any help 

Thank you!

    The .zip file needs to be expanded before you can open it. Expand, then look for the story.html file. If you are doing this for a class, the professor or syllabus should tell you how to submit it.  Sometimes you need to submit the expanded version; others, the zip version. If not, come back here and describe your situation for more help.

    Whatever you need, if you published and zipped it, you don’t need SL any longer.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Decompressing the .zip and opening the story.html file worked on my pc, but I still don't seem to be able to share it on a padlet. Any further suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your help :)

      Hello Lucy,

      I'm happy to chime in! Another option is to publish your Web output to a Web server like Amazon S3 and Google Cloud and allow others to access it on another device by giving them a link to the story.html file. Here's how:
