Importing google slides into storyline
I know how to import powerpoint slides in storyline 3. However my company does not work with office and solely uses google. I have made course presentations in google slides. To slowly shift to more interactive courses, I would like to import the already existing course presentations from google slides into storyline 3. Is there any option to do this?
I am sorry if this is asked before. I have read multiple discussions on importing information from google drive, but I couldn't find an answer to this specific question.

Hi Dorrien,
We don't have support yet for importing in from Google Slides, but I know a few other users have submitted a feature request for it, so I can add one for you as well!

Hello,
I, too, would be very interested in this feature.
As a public education K12 curriculum writer I am pretty well locked in to using G-Suite (including Google Slides) because the school district also relies on Google Classroom as its LMS.
While I'm also fluent in Microsoft's Powerpoint, Storyline's current inability to integrate Google Slides is probably one of the biggest barriers preventing thousands of K12 educators and curriculum writers from utilizing Storyline.
From my perspective, you're missing a huge market of users in the meantime. Fortune predicts, "Overall education technology spending globally will reach $19 billion by 2019." While I understand that Storyline prides itself on being a business tool for trainers, there are a LOT of potential Storyline subscriptions waiting for a Google-Storyline integration.
Sign me up if you ever need an educator to test drive. And definitely sign me up when you finally bridge the Google / Storyline gap.
Kindly,
Diane Mora
Hey Diane,
That's really valuable insight, thank you! I'll definitely share this feedback with my team as we have conversations about compatibility in the future. If we add a Google-Storyline integration feature in the future, we'll let you know!

I second Diane, Google integration would amazing. Thanks for passing this request on!
Thanks for chiming in, Becky! If we add this integration in the future, you'll be among the first to know.

Same here, we are moving away from Microsoft Office as well! Please keep me on the list of those you notify about the integration!
Thank you!

I teach teachers, and we provide Storyline to our students as part of the coursework. However, so many of them use Google Slides in their work they are unable to use Storyline with their slide decks. I also think you are missing out on a huge market.

Let me add my voice to the chorus to get this implemented ASAP please!

I echo all the comments requesting Google Integration. Many start up and tech companies are utilizing Google Suites in place of MS Office.

Hi all,
Last week Google had yet another update and now its not possible to choose "Open with PowerPoint" from my drive(or any other Google drive I have access to) even though the files are stored as ppsx files. I have of course sent a feedback to Google that I need that function back but...
I have found a way to go around it but it takse a lot of time. First I have to send the file(s) to my private email, then save it(without opening it) it on my computer, open PowerPoint, choose new, find each single file and then start editing and use Articulate. Saving it on my Google drive is faster, it`s is just click and drag.
When could we expect Articulate to include Google Sheets?
