Issue with Image Link

michelbmc · 01-20-2022 09:19 AM

I do have a hard time trying to display picture inside my app. Pictures are on my google workspace and I use URL. My URL look like https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1834q4YY1JRvJcVwI8I4ZGJRv-vhDtkqJ
Some images are shown and others not,
It looks like that AppSheet is using https://www.appsheet.com/image/getremoteimageurl?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Fuc%3Fexport%3D... to get the picture.
When I copy and paste in chrome the previous URL (https:://www.appsheet.com/image/getremoteimageurl?url= …)
I get the following

We're sorry...

… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.

See Google Help for more information.

With other pictures it’s just working fine.

Any clue?

Where are you using the image?

Where do you get this from?

Images are on the drive and they are used as decoration in the app.

depending of the context I choose to display one or the other.
It worked for months and now …

I have found most success uploading .png images when I have them saved to my computer and then upload them through the app emulator. That seems to be a pretty good method and it worked well for me. You can make the image editable then AppSheet does all the formatting for having the image for you.

Below I attached a resource that helped me understand how to do this.

I hope that this is helpful

Adding images to AppSheet

I have a list of 200 images used for decoration and the picture depends on the context.

I do not use your method as I do not want the whole list of images to be uploaded.
It worked during months and today some are not working

BTW, GDrive doesn’t provide public urls, it’s more complex than that.
If it used to work, it might be a bug.
Always use public urls.

This one is not:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1834q4YY1JRvJcVwI8I4ZGJRv-vhDtkqJ

This is:

This URL works well in a lot of situations.
Not sure what you mean by public URL ?
Some pictures with the same url are working fine.
