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.

Yes, I used the story.html file.

Can you please share with me the link that you used? Here are a couple of other things that may help:
- Make sure you made the entire Storyline output folder public...you don't need to make anything inside of it public individually
- If you need to upload your course again for any reason, make sure that you delete the entire Storyline output folder from Amazon S3, then re-upload it from scratch (I've had issues before when I did not do this)
I hope that helps!

I tried this again with a different Storyline file with the same result so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong just not sure what! I made the whole file public as shown in the directions, though I am getting an error here at the bottom - see screenshot.
Here's the link address:

Lanie,
I was looking at Delvin's directions too. It took me three hours of frustration. Your one suggestion saved me. It was not working and that fix did it. Thank you!

I figured it out (I think - it works now at least!). The new settings for making the bucket public don't match what you have. I went to "edit public access settings" and unchecked them all and now it works.
If I should have left any of these checked please let me know! Thank you!

Great!! Thank you for posting the fix. I’m going to update the tutorial today accordingly. Good work!

Hey Devlin! Thanks so much for this tutorial! I've just created my AWS account and first bucket with my first story. I want to ask you though, since I chose the AWS basic and am still within the free tier (12 months), how would aws charge me after this? In general, how or what are the costs for storyline objects in AWS or google cloud?
Thanks and looking forward on your insight on this.

In general, AWS charges are based on outgoing data. Pricing also depends on the region(s) where your storage buckets are located. See here for info.

Thanks for this super helpful post, Devlin! Do you know if S3 could enable any sort of analytics collection? Or would we still need to the learning object either embedded in an LMS or have an LRS set up in order to get data? Thanks!

Is there any way to restrict access to enrolled students without making the bucket public. The url to the story.html file in S3 file can be freely copied and pasted and the Storyline course can be accessed. I tried using bucket policies using http referrer and ip addrress restriction but get an error similar to Lannie's above ("This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." I hope somebody can show the way with these bucket policies. Not having much progress with S3 documentation or forums.

When i export with Rise i do not have a story.html file. Only Index.html and goodby.html
Cannot figure out how to get it running in my s3. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advanced
- MichaelHinzeCommunity Member
The process should be the same as with Storyline content, except that you need to use the public link to the index. html file.
- Wilcovandena378Community Member
Yep, Its working now. Thanks for the reply

Thank you Devlin for posting this guide - really helpful and saved me HOURS of working out how to do this! Also, thank you to Lanie for spotting the changes in the public settings - that would have thwarted my efforts for sure!
