Direct access to Google Drive file from HTML

[Dan Hinsley]

I found a lot of references that say how to do that, but none work for me.  What I want to do is create an HTML  img tag that references a file on my google drive.  One set of posts says to use:

<img src="drive.google.com/uc?id=fileid" alt="xxx">

but another says that google no longer supports this, so you need to use:

<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/fileid" alt="Image Description">

But neither works for me.  I know I'm doing something stupid, but I just can't figure it out.  This has to be a common thing to want to do, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi - you can use:
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=fileid&sz=w1000

And put in your image fileid

However - the image itself needs to have permission for anyone on the internet to view (I believe) in order to show it on a web page or as in my case in an appsheet app.

Adding to what Laurie wrote: the "sz=w" parameter can be used to control the size of the image returned. E.g. in Laurie's example URL the requested returned size is 1000 pixels.

HTH.
