Can I use the data cloud to make a word cloud from all the users' entries in Storyline text boxes?
I have long wanted to add something where I can make a word cloud to help elearning users feel connected to other users while reflecting on content. Could I use this tool to do that? How would I learn to set this up?

Probably not with Data Cloud, but certainly with Sheets you should be able. I haven't done it myself, but here are the steps I would take if I needed to do it:
1. Have the users save their entries into a certain column.
2. When it's time to display the word cloud, use SheetsSet() to write a formula that would concatenate text (with a delimiter) from all rows in a certain column into a single cell.
3. Use SheetsGet() to read the computed value from the task above.
4. Use JavaScript to split the string into multiple strings by the delimiter.
5. Have variables in Storyline that will be laid out on the slide by reference, e.g. %myvar%.
6. Set the values of those variables to the values of the split strings.

Thank you! I will have to learn some coding to get there, but this is a start.
