Images from cloud drive (Google Drive vs Dropbox)

[Taylor Nguyen]

Hello,

I'm completely new to Tiddlywiki and has been loving it as my personal platform.

I collect images for my research project and save them on my Google Drive. Is there a way for me to embed images from my drive to Tiddlywiki?

I tried using: 

[img[picture name|picture link]]

and making the G-drive file public but that doesn't work. Importing images as a tiddly to embed locally isn't feasible in the long run due to the amount of images in my collection.

Thank you.

G'day and welcome to TiddlerHood !

Sneak a peak at this article I found.

Please drag the attached file to some TiddlyWiki to see how I've setup a tiddler with a publicly shared picture from my Google Drive.

Note: something shared publicly on Google Drive is only visible by folk logged into their Google Accounts.  I think...

Oops:  "Please download and drag ..."

By the way, that last idea was based on the first thing I found searching.

Here's another approach that may suit better.

Using that approach, I can put the following in a regular tiddler:

nqc - welcome to TW!

TiddlyGoo is a collection of tools to connect "the web" to your TW. A key component is the SheetsIN plugin (developed by fellow Mark S and me) to import "Google Sheet rows into tiddlers". So, a preceding step for your use case is to "convert" your Drive folder links into rows in Sheets, for which there are also tools in the collection:
