Hi.  
I am trying the Glideapp, which I find very easy to use.  
However, I cannot figure out why my images (which I saved on my Google Drive) don’t show on the app (only on my browser app, but not on someone else’s browser).  
This happens to me also when I try to add a signature image to my email body in my Google email account (in that case I also store the images in Google Drive).  
Any idea?  
Thank you in advance.

Have you publicly shared the image and are you using the sharing url in the sheet?

Yes I did. I followed these steps as indicated:

- Open Share settings for the image.
- Make sure `Anyone with the link` can view the file.
- Copy the link.
- Paste it into your sheet

Do you have any suggestion as to what might have gone wrong?

Can you check if the default for your links are https:// or http://

It happens to me very often.  
I ended up moving all images to Firebase, and problem solved.

Hi Eltintero.  
Thank you for your suggestion. I will try to solve Google Drive as I’d like to keep everything in the Google products (I pay storage to get the services, which usually work well), and if I can’t find a solution I will check out Firebase. Is this what you are talking about? [https://firebase.google.com/](https://firebase.google.com/)

Yes! It’s a Google product as well.

Hello. Google Drive works. I thought I had chosen “anybody can see link” but I was on my corporate account, and had to click one more time to choose “anyone…”.  
I will look into FIrebase. Looks like it’s the goto place for someone who is venturing into apps, like me.
