Thinkific, Google Drive and Storyline

Hello, so I am trying to use Thinkific and show the modules I made in Storyline. As Thinkific does not directly support (unless you have a Pro license) uploading the Zip file, I am trying to use Google Drive. I uploaded the Zip file to Google Drive, followed Thinkific's guideline to modify the URL and paste it in Thinkific so that it can play the module. However, all I am getting is a view of my folder in Thinkific. Did anyone face this and knows a work around? 

Thanks

  • Google Drive used to work a few years back, you could link to the .html file and it would play the course. But they disabled hat feature. A lot of people use AMZN S3 to upload and host courses. It's free to very inexpensive. And you can embed those.

  • I would go back to Thinkific's support and ask for clarity. From my understanding, if you upload a .zip file to Google Drive and link to it, you'll get prompted to download the .zip file since you're only linking to the specific file.

      Thanks for your reply. I have tried many possible combinations of folder and file links however it simply does not work. I have followed Thinkific's support documents however, I simply get a view inside my Google folder and nothing else. I will contact their support for further clarification.
