You've had some sleepless nights, made a mess of creating your terrain, lost your scenes several times, srceamed and cursed at unity and Course forge. No sympathy here, done that and have the tee shirt. But despite it all your ready to publish your masterpiece.
OK first of all your course files need to be available 24/7 so you need to join a free File hosting site. Same principle as Photobucket hosting your photographs
DROPBOX and MEGAsync are 2 of the most common ones but hey feel free to google and see if others take your fancy.
There are literally dozens around try this www.rexsl.com/top-file-sharing-websites-hosting-sites/
Personally I use the free Dropbox software. www.dropbox.com
The secret is to Zip your course. which makes it quicker for your course to download but also creates it into the correct folder when others download it.
The following are instructions for dropbox using windows 7 to 10
USING DROPBOX TO CREATE A LINK TO YOUR COURSE
1. Once you have created your course and ( lets call it St Andrews) it will appear in your DOCUMENTS AREA in a folder called PERFECT PARALLEL in a sub folder called COURSES and finally you will have 3/4 files in a further folder called ST. Andrews ( or whatever you called the course)
2. Right Click your mouse on your St Andrews folder and click on SEND TO then select COMPRESSED ZIP FOLDER. This will create another folder called St Andrews but will have a little Zip on the folder icon. This is the folder you need to Upload to DROPBOX and get a link to it
Once you can do that your in Business. Simply register on the forum and post your link to your course. Hopefully others will download your course and enjoy their round.
