Sharing folder in Rise
Hi,
Is it possible for Rise users to share folders? We have a mid-sized team of developers and we would like to store final files in a shared folder structure (for maintenance and translation purposes). Is this possible?
I know you can add collaborators, but can you share folders with a specific group of people like you would share a google folder?

Not only can you not share folders, but if you're a collaborator on a course, and that course is owned by someone else, you can't put it in a folder in your account for your own organizational sanity. Be prepared to use a lot of CTRL+F!
Frustrating. Rise is such a great tool, but I just don't see the support and investment from Articulate that it deserves.
I agree! I really like Rise, and we're going to keep using it, but I wish it got some of the love that Storyline gets.

I both agree and disagree with this: The thing is, Rise is not a great tool as things stand. And it will never meet the bar for "great" as long as Articulate continues to neglect its development in this fashion. The collaboration features are a bad joke: no shared folders, no way for an admin to access other users' courses (except via the nuclear option of removing that user's seat and reassigning the courses), no way to invite collaborators to multiple courses at once…
The message to anyone who wants to have collaboration on by default is to go elsewhere. And we're seriously thinking about it, even though it would be a pain to migrate our content.
Adding my voice to this. As my team grows this is an increasingly necessary feature.
It is very frustrating that so many teams are requesting enhancements to Rise and there is no real response visible on the roadmap. This discussion was open over two years ago! Thanks all for your input and I hope Articulate Staff will treat it as their priority.

I should hope so. With competition to Rise having automatic collaboration, it is a huge downfall of the current Rise product. Now that authoring is all moving to the web/cloud, there is no reason why all users on a team shouldn't have access to all content for that org. eludcidat, Knowbly, etc. all do this. Even Google Drive and Dropbox offer this function.
With this many people asking for this crucial feature, it's unacceptable that it isn't even on the roadmap!
I agree we are getting desperate for a shared folder structure! We use CTRL + F within the browser to find courses and it's frustrating from an admin perspective! We really need this feature ASAP in Rise!
Just peeking in here.... this request is more than 730 days old. Any traction from the Articulate engineers yet?
Any update on folder sharing? It would be so handy for our team also - for all the reasons listed above. Thanks.
Hey All! Thanks again for following up on this feature. Sorry, no news to share on this yet. We're still tracking requests for folder sharing and improvements.
If we make any updates or have news to share, you'll hear it here!Wondering if we can now share folders in Rise. If not, would like to second the motion! :)
Hi Liezl! We're still tracking requests so I will add you to our list. Once we make changes that will help, we'll update this thread.
How big is this list at this point? :)
I'm a couple of years late to the party but i'm going to echo all of the comments above.
As a team, a shared folder that has collaborative access would allow for much simpler management of our packages as opposed to adding collaborators to each package individually.
Thanks for adding your voice to this, Jack!
