Storyline + OneDrive: How to Stop Temp File Sync Issues?
I frequently run into issues where OneDrive automatically backs up all temporary files created by Storyline. When Storyline closes, these files are deleted, which results in unnecessary sync activity and bandwidth usage without any real benefit.
To improve workflow and system performance, I’d like to suggest the following enhancements:
- Set a default folder for “Save As”
It would be helpful to have the ability to define a default folder that opens when using “Save As” in Storyline. For example:
C:\Temp\ArticulateProjects\
This would allow users to work in a local folder outside of OneDrive (which is often required by IT policies). - Set a custom folder for temporary files
Storyline should allow users to specify where temporary files are stored. For example:
C:\Temp\ArticulateTemp\
This would prevent OneDrive from syncing and deleting these files, improving stability and reducing unnecessary network traffic. - Separate folder for Storyline templates
It would be ideal if templates could be stored in a dedicated folder, such as within OneDrive:
C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\ArticulateTemplates\
This ensures templates are backed up and easily recoverable in case of a system crash. It also supports better reuse of custom features across projects.
These features would significantly improve the user experience, especially in environments where OneDrive sync is enforced.
I’m curious if others have encountered similar issues or found effective workarounds?
