I’m creating url links to photos, but no matter what I use, photos won’t show up in the app. The only thing i’ve gotten to work is a link to my twitter profile photo.

Any thoughts and how to link photos into the spreadsheet so they’ll show up in the app?

Do the urls work in an incognito browser window? They might be blocked if they are not publicly shared photos.

There seems to be a Glide issue. I and another are trying to load image links…we have used the proper sharing parameters and still no image…

Think I figured it out. I needed to change the share settings in Google Drive to ‘public - anyone can view’.
