Show Image Type not displaying

Hi, 

I know last month Google Drive changed the way images were downloaded which broke some Appsheet links showing images. I have read through this help article (Display images and documents hosted on Google Drive) as well as this help article (Display images, documents, and audio files) and am still unable to figure out if it is still possible to show images from Google Drive in AppSheet.

I have made sure the image file is in the same Google Drive folder as the AppSheet spreadsheet. I have confirmed the image file is shared with anyone with the link. I have attempted to put in just the file name since it is in the same Google Drive folder. I have also attempted "/appsheet/data/MyApp/MyImage.jpg". No luck so far with having it be shown in Appsheet. 

Any other ideas or suggestions from someone who has been able to make this work?

Thank you.

Could you reverify your settings match as shown below in the test example.

The [Show_Image] is a Show type column with category as "Image'

Here the image file is "Cake.png" 

Since the image file is in the same folder as the  as the backend spreadsheet as shown below, in the column setting, a simple name of the file in the "Content" sub setting is enough as shown above will do.

Thank you for the response. The images are now showing today. I am not sure why they were not showing yesterday, maybe I had to refresh something. Your steps appear to work well in case anyone else looks at this in the future. Thanks!
