Does anyone know how to embed a photo from Google drive on to a forum post? Any help very much appreciated. Ps. I used to use photobucket but their T&C's changed unfavourably
Not straightforward, but doable: Go to https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive Find your image. Double click on it. A preview will open. At the top right are three vertical dots. Click on them. Click on 'Share' Click on 'Get shareable link' - it will say 'Link copied to clipboard' Unfortunately that link doesn't work. Now you go to https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/ Copy the link into the first input field. Click 'Create direct link' Copy the generated link. Insert image into post. Copy generated link as Image URL. Done. I just did that and the result is... ... delicious.. if you are a cannibal.
probably need a little more help here. I have a a photo of two which I have no problem getting the links etc but when I try to post them they are rotated 90 degrees. I have tried turning the photo on my google drive but they end up the same. Any ideas how I might overcome this? eg:
Those problems are a pain in the neck. Is that image straight from a camera or has it been edited? I assume the former. If so, load into image into an image editing program and save it again (maybe make a tiny, tiny edit first). That often fixes rotation meta data problems that shouldn't be a problem. All I can suggest right now. Sorry.
