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) we're suddenly being told that our files are being used by other processes, forcing us to save copies, and being unable to sync.  Dropbox hasn't changed but Articulate has.  What's going on?  Does anyone have a fix?  We're able to still sync and use Dropbox as usual with every other type of file except Storyline.

  • I am having a similar, but slightly different problem. I have been working on a project with a colleague of mine. When I'm working on it, I save to my local hard drive (C), but upload it to Dropbox (web version) so she can continue working on it (sharing via email has caused problems in the past). We've repeated this cycle a couple of times. As I'm working on this project today, storyline is shutting down randomly with no warning message and no reason... I'm not even trying to publish or preview, it will just close. I have auto save on, but it doesn't capture the last 5 minutes or so of work I put in. 

    Does this also sound like a corrupt file? If so, what can I do to fix it without losing my work?

     

    Thank you!

  • Although it doesnot solve the issue, i want to point to Beyond Compare from Scooter Software. Had to sync /merge 2 OneDrive instances of 2 terrabyte including a lot of Storyline files... using BC4 it was a breeze to manage. With BC you can setup a local folder and OneDrive/Dropbox folder and quickly merge/sync those at will.
