Storyline Files & Dropbox
We (faculty district-wide) are having issues with saving Storyline files to Dropbox. This has not been an issue for the last year but within the last month (not this last update but the one before)...
Hi Becky,
That's an excellent protocol to implement! This article below provides more tips on avoiding unexpected behavior such as having to make multiple copies.
With the DropBox client installed, we are always saving to our hard drive. DropBox then synchronizes with the cloud automatically. Whatever changed in Storyline a few months ago gets in the way of this process. When you are working with lots of Storyline files, remembering to turn DropBox on and off , or manually copying files is not a particularly efficient way to work. There is no issue with any other application and this process worked fine with Storyline until recently, so there should be a technical explanation and solution.
Saving to our local drive is still causing the message "file path cant be found" or "it's open somewhere else and you must save a copy." It is very frustrating...We aren't using Dropbox at all and are having this issue for the past several months. Each developer works on their own projects, on their own computer, so how can it be open somewhere else??? Our IT group checked and it only seems to be having issues with Storyline files.
Hi Becky!
Have you tried saving the projects under different file names, like Sample FIle 4.16.2020? I've noticed that the error message appears if you're opening a file that has been moved from a cloud service to a local drive.
Can you try making a copy of the file and saving it with extra wording such as "Version 2" or even adding the date?
