Google Drive Image
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to put a google drive image on a portal page so that it shows? When I put a link to view an image from my google drive between two exclamation points it does not work... my google drive images are marked as shareable so that shouldn't be the problem.
I've moved all my image files to google drive because the previous service I was using is becoming undependable. I'm probably gonna switch to postimg.com instead, but google drive would be ideal so if anyone has a workaround let me know! ^_^

I don't know how to do it from a google drive image but the portal has a 10gb media library for ascendant members. I have close to a thousand pics in there and have zero issues using them as inserts or backrounds.
Hi friend, I went ahead and shared this with my team. :~) We'll get back to you as soon as we can! @Wolflord

@WolfLord, can you post one of your Google Drive urls here so we can play around with your exact situation and figure out something that will work?

Hey I appreciate the help everyone sorry I took so long to get back!! I was doing my own research and I guess google drive has some issues with embedding images and that seems to be an intentional policy, so I expect they will continue making it difficult in the long run.
Here is an example of a URL from my google drive though if you want to mess around with trying to get it to work! I do have it set to be shareable.

The reason I wanted a different service rather than my ascendant image storage is just for organization purposes and because the code use when embedding images from the media library was a little clunkier than just the exclamation points. (maybe there are solutions to this I was unaware of).
If anyone is curious, I am currently using a new service I found called dash.bunny. It is a paid service, but it is pay as you go based on traffic usage (with very quick speeds and massive storage) and for my purposes it comes out almost nothing.
Thanks again for the responses and sorry again for my delay! ^_^ I'll continue to follow out of curiosity.
