Permalinks for Google Drive Images

Source : http://googlesystem.blogspot.fr/2013/02/permalinks-for-google-drive-images.html

While Google Drive lets you upload any file, the support for files that can't be edited using Google Docs/Sheets/Slides is limited. Google doesn't offer permalinks for images.

So you've uploaded a photo to Google Drive and the only options are to download the file and link to the image page. But what if you want to embed that image in a web page or simply post a direct link to the image? You may think that right-clicking the image lets you copy the image URL, but that's not true. Even if you check the source code of a page or use features like Firefox's “view page info”, you'll get a link that doesn't work.

Fortunately, there's an easy solution - replace this URL from the address bar:

http://docs.google.com/file/d/FILEID/edit

with:

http://drive.google.com/uc?id=FILEID

Or this solution also works : http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILEID// (where FILEID is a long sequence of digits and letters). This only works if you've changed the visibility options to “public on the Web” or “anyone with the link” in the Share dialog. Here's an example: Your URL file from your google drive images is : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FvhVqZuub_zjzGzfHCWAMB9S0w6NrFSuNQ/view?ts=56e7de5e Your FILEID is : 1FvhVqZuub_zjzGzfHCWAMB9S0w6NrFSuNQ Now your new URL to used in your browser is : http://drive.google.com/uc?id=1FvhVqZuub_zjzGzfHCWAMB9S0w6NrFSuNQ And you would obtain a new URL that you can enter in the Xper URL field : https://doc-0s-8o-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/ha0ro937gcuc7l7deffksulhg5h7mbp1/1q26vpr6sre3k1a7gakh91oqp2svuktv/1458036000000/10941674021321527517/*/1FvhVqZuub_zjzGzfHCWAMB9S0w6NrFSuNQ This new URL will be the only one recognized as image format (eg: JPG,PNG,GIF…) by Xper.
