Google drive image in Image Widget of Experience Builder

[AdityaRoshan]

Addimg image to Image Widget using URL was working fine until last week.

Example URL: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1viR6NT-ok4KWnh4tjyg8dJFVeO1l0aAB

Since past couple of days its not showing the image in the widget and when I got edit the url in the widget it is showing Invalid Url error.

Another change I noticed that, earlier the link https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1viR6NT-ok4KWnh4tjyg8dJFVeO1l0aAB used to open image in the browser but now it is opening the image by redirecting to https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1viR6NT-ok4KWnh4tjyg8dJFVeO1l0aAB&export=view&authu.... It still display image in the browser when &authuser=1 is removed. But any of the link used in the widget throws invalid error message.

Any ideas about this development or work around to this problem will be highly appreciated.

When I change /download? in the link to /view?, it shows 404 error in the browser.

Thanks

When &authuser=1 at the end is removed, it still is displaying in the image in the browser. But when the link is used in image widget of Experience Builder, it say invalid link.

Hi @AdityaRoshan

I found out that this issue has been reported on the Google Support community site (https://support.google.com/sites/thread/253003338/images-from-google-drive-in-embedded-html-no-longe...) and it seems the issue started around Jun 11th

I found a workaround solution by using this link for your image in the Image Widget 

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/u/0/drive-viewer/AEYmBYQwlYjxF9UiOAP-WSrySXINO5Mia0FK8YJoPU3deEUyH...

The way I arrived at the link above is by using the following format first: 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/<Image Id>/edit

In your image case will be https://drive.google.com/file/d/1viR6NT-ok4KWnh4tjyg8dJFVeO1l0aAB/edit

Then, I dragged the image to obtain the final link

Hope this helps
