Help with static image from Google drive

I need help with the static image from Google drive.

I can’t seem to get it right.

When I follow the instructions below, the URL I get doesn’t appear in the same format as below.

I did try and copy and paste some of the info from the Shareable link I got but none of the attempts I used worked.
Appsheet help intructions:

"* Google Drive: Viewing an image on Google Drive shows your image on a web page that hosts an image, but the URL of the web page will not work as a link to your image. To get the correct URL for an image hosted on Drive, first use the “get shareable link” option in Share settings. This provides a URL like https://drive.google.com/open?id={fileID} . This still leads to a web page hosting your image, not the image itself, but it provides the file ID you need to create the final image link: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id={fileID}"

This is the link I got when I requested get Shareable link.

https://drive.google.com/file/d /1q40YBeo78mQuzF4iBf-sZKZJ3Jqwq-U4/view?usp=sharing”

Note: I added a “space” after “/d” so that you can see the link otherwise it shows up as the image name.

Which part of this should be copied and pasted in to the final image link?

I am unsure about image file size part. I tested it with a 3KB and 60 KB PNGs. I agree that first time loading was slower when I tested as well. But subsequent loadings are faster.

However, I think the Pixel size needs to be 600 X 600.

Please take a look at the below articles just in case you have not already.
