My app’s URL: [https://viavai-rnb.glideapp.io/](https://viavai-rnb.glideapp.io/)

Hello Gliders!

Is it possible to display an image uploaded on Google Drive in the hidden menu? I already copied and pasted the public URL in the spreadsheet, infact the image is displayed properly in other areas.

Do you know how can I fix this?

Many thanks!

So it doesn’t work in the “hidden menu” tabs but works in the “bottom menu” tabs?

Hi! Exactly , displayed perfectly everywhere except in the circle of the hidden bar.

Oh I see. To be honest I would advise storing the images on Glide’s storage. Storing on Google Drive is not a good practice. We see problems from showing images on Drive once in a while.

Hola @Alessandro

Instead of using this syntax:

> [https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE-ID/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE-ID/view?usp=sharing)

use this

> [https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILE-ID](https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILE-ID)

Let me know if this helped you!

Saludos

Hello Gliders! Thank you very much for the support!

Hi @gvalero that’s a nice idea! I’ll try it, thank you very much!

@Pablo_Reyna io son scioccato dalla tua gentilezza! Grazie davvero per i complimenti! Tutto l’impegno e la passione che metto in questo progetto è rivolta soprattutto a persone come te che notano e apprezzano questi dettagli!

Quick question: what does this do versus the other syntax? (“[https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE-ID/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE-ID/view?usp=sharing)”)

Thanks!

It seems some CSS codes have problems with Google syntax.
