Hi Don!
Great question!
Why does Articulate recommend saving files locally rather than to a cloud?
- Working on a network drive or an external USB drive can cause erratic behavior due to latency. For example, it could cause file corruption or prevent you from saving changes.

Please let me know if you have additional questions about saving files locally!

Thanks,
Don
