Would anyone have found a way to make google drive images work for product image?Īlternatively, could anyone recommend a good image hosting solution that would allow direct upload of a folder structure without having to set the sharing settings for each files individually, I am dealing 1000+ images that would be extremely inconvenient. However, using the product image uploader will fail with the message : When you upload any file in Google Drive and share it, the shared link looks like this: The FILEID is unique for every file in Google Drive. This url is a fully public image, without redirection, and served with the correct content type as any webserver would serve image assets.

I cannot make it work for the life of me. I can upload them if i go to the google drive app, choose folder, and plus sign them into the folder, but it sure isn't as easy as using the upload icon in the actual camera app.ĭoes anyone know why the google drive icon doesn't seem to be actually communicating with google anymore and updating my folders? I have tried installing and uninstalling the icon onto the list of choices, but that didn't update the sync to google drive. The folder selection has stayed the same since 3 months ago when i first started keeping track of receipts this way. However, it isn't updating to the most recent google folders, so i can't upload the new photos this way.

Using the photo upload icon in camera, i click on the google drive link, then my drive.

Under Get Link Change the share permissions to Anyone with the Link and Editor.

I create a new google folder every month. Right click on the image on Google Drive.

I snap photos of receipts and upload them to a google folder.
