Links to external files break when the author is not the publisher

I wish we could use a shared drive solution. Unfortunately, the need to maintain the correct access permissions to those files would be an impossible task because these modules are used by thousands of employees, globally.

That list of people is constantly changing as people come and go or change positions within the company. The embedded files are technical documents, so they are confidential and cannot be shared with a general link that anyone in the world can access.

What I'm trying to say here is that I wish Articulate would make the change to embed the file instead of linking to it. That would solve all of these problems and would ensure that the link always works.
