In the Windows environment, I went to my C drive, and then Users, then my name, then My Documents. However, I still have a question about saving projects in the Windows environment. For example: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\"Īgain, I was planning to use Dropbox so my files will be backed up. But I'm wondering: is it necessary to copy all my files (graphics, audio etc) to the Windows environment before putting them into Storyline?ģ) The webpage says " Save and publish Articulate projects in the Windows environment, not the Mac. I thought I had posted a question in the forums about dragging files from the Mac environment directly into Storyline in the Windows environment and someone responded saying doing that works fine. Can someone confirm that I need to move those files onto my Windows virtual machine before inserting those files into my Storyline project? I hadn't been planning to do that - I was planning to keep all of my audio, video and graphics in folders on my Mac and then drag them into Storyline when needed. Copy and paste files you need for Articulate projects to the Windows environment prior to inserting them into your content." Is there any chance of my Storyline file getting corrupted if I use Dropbox to store it?Ģ.) The webpage also says " Audio, video, and image resources must be located in the Windows environment, not the Mac. I want to use Dropbox because then my Storyline document will be backed up in case something happens to my Windows virtual machine. Doing so can result in file corruption or loss of resources."ĭoes that include Dropbox? I was planning to save my Storyline document to my Dropbox folder. That webpage has suggestions for using Articulate Storyline on a Mac running Parallels and I don't totally understand the suggestions.ġ.) The webpage says " Don't work from a network drive or an external USB drive. The reason I'm writing this post is that I just came across this webpage:
I've also been creating all the audio, video and graphics files I'll need using software on my Mac. For the past few weeks I've been watching Storyline video tutorials.
Tomorrow I'm finally going to download the 30-Day trial of Storyline and start my project. However, I installed Parallels Desktop on my Mac along with Windows 7 Home Premium so I can run Articulate Storyline. I'm a longtime Mac user who has never owned a Windows PC.
