I have a database for an event program, with one column that will show an image of a map for which room the event will be in.
My images all in Google Drive. I can easily put in the links in the database, but I want images, not links.
I have changed my Column “Location” from URL to IMAGE but that doesn’t show the image when I switch to Layout. I have tried dragging an image onto the column, but I get an error “File Not Found”.
What am I doing wrong? Should I insert actual images into my Google Spreadsheet instead of URLs?
Thank you in advance
The table only ever stores a url as text regardless if the column type is image, url, text etc. When you see an image in the table, it’s just rendering that url.
There probably a good chance that your google drives images are not public, so they are inaccessible by glide and other users.
I would recommend actually uploading the images to glide storage, which will be a lot more reliable. It will still be represented as a url in the table, but it will point to glide’s storage.
Looks like you are using a Fields component. It probably should render the image as long as the column type is image, but I’m not 100% sure. You can still add an image component to double check.
