Every once in a while users ask me how/where to share published eLearning content, if they don’t have a website. The default suggestion is to upload content to a S3 storage bucket on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as described in one of Tom Kuhlmann‘s blog posts here.

An alternative to AWS is Google Cloud. The process of creating a storage bucket, uploading content, setting permissions and sharing a URL are quite similar to AWS. Here is my quick recording of the required steps.

I used a published Storyline project for my recording, but the same process would apply to other eLearning content, e.g. Adobe Captivate. Tom had also done a blog post on the Google Cloud option and showed how to use pCloud to share courses (which is an alternative to Dropbox). See here and here for info.

Both AWS and Google Cloud offer free account options for 12-month.

One other cloud storage option to consider is Microsoft Azure. I haven’t tried Azure yet, but from what I read the process is similar to AWS and Google.

Edit 10/2018: here is a quick recording of uploading and sharing Adobe Captivate content on Google Cloud.
