Display an image from Google drive in Squirrel

 

To use an image stored in Google drive as the source of a squirrel image component first locate the image in Google drive and right click on it and select the “Get link” option from the menu:

 

 

Make sure the link is set to be available to “Anyone with the link”

 

 

and then copy the ID (shown highlighted below) of the image from the middle of the link

 

 

use this ID to create a link of the form:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=<ID>

where <ID> is replaced by the ID copied in the previous step.

This will result in a link of the form

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1D1HDD-sRqYIjd3rMLLd6kkJhHMjTATEC

which can then be used as the “Image URL” property of an image component
