GUIDE: How to Upload Storyline Content to the Web Using Amazon S3
Hi All!
I've seen many people asking for additional help on how to upload Storyline projects using Amazon S3, so I put together a tutorial that should help out. If you have any additional questions or if anything needs to be modified, just let me know in the comments below.

Awesome guide! This saved me so much frustration and it covered every little thing that needs to be done to get Storyline projects up on Amazon S3. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to share this with the community, Devlin. Very kind of you!
Another option is to use the AWS Management Console to upload content directly, instead of using CloudBerry.
Of course! And right, Michael is correct. You can upload it to the console directly similar to how you would upload something to Google Drive directly in the browser.
Hello! please, explain how to upload by using the AWS Management Console. Thanks in advance
I have the AWS account created. I have uploaded the file. I have chosen "make public. I published the story and then zipped it. I uploaded the zip file to AWS. When I click on the link, I just get the zip file contents. It doesn't play. I am sure this is a very ignorant mistake I have made... but what did I do wrong?
You need to upload the UNZIPPED content.
To her question - When you upload various folders within a Storyline folder you do not get the content to come with that folder. Even if you use the drag and drop function. Is there a way to upload a zip and unzip it?
Devlin - Amazon S3 changed it's bucket setup. Can you chime in on how to set permissions or in the set up or am I not looking at it correctly?
Hi Bridget...it looks like you should be able to keep the defaults. Can you please try that and let me know if you run into any issues? Please let me know so that I can update the guide accordingly.
Will do! Still trying to figure out the uploading piece! :)
Kept the default and was able to upload a Storyline file to Cloudberry. However, when I take the final step of making it public, I get 100% error and the link leads to an error page. :( Is there something I need to do with the Bucket policy?
Bridget, you're uploading the output folder, right?
You want to upload the entire, unzipped HTML5 Storyline output folder (not individually uploading the files within this folder). You then make this folder public, and then go inside it and copy the link to the index.html file.
Thanks. I ended up - thanks to your great instructions -- figuring it out in Cloudberry.
Great! Are there any parts of the guide that need updating? (Besides the piece on setting up the bucket for the first time)
Thanks for these instructions. I was able to get my folder (unzipped) into Cloudberry and then to AWS. I made it public, but I am getting this error when I click on the link: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

Any suggestions welcome! I am new to all this so I very well may be missing something obvious. Thanks!
Are you generating the link from the story.html file?
