Host images via Google Drive
The other day I was playing around with some image effects and needed a place to serve them from an online place.
Don't get me wrong I know there are many tools and websites to do this for you.
Yet I learned that Google Drive can also be one of these options.
As a person who owns unlimited storage, it was worthwhile giving it a go.
Hosting public images on Google Drive
So today I'll be showing you how to host images on Google Drive and have them available for everyone.
Firstly open your Google drive and upload an image.
For this purpose, it doesn't matter if it's in a folder or not.
That's part one, now we can click the picture and select the sharing option.
I changed the option to everyone with the link just to be on the safe side, you'll get a link like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10YD7sJI_HHDXmQM4h96alvyGIU53nGYZ/view?usp=sharing
The part after the /d/ is what we are looking for, as it's the unique ID of the image.
We can copy the unique ID and paste it into the following URL.
https://drive.google.com/uc?id={ID}
So in our case, we get a link like this:
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=10YD7sJI_HHDXmQM4h96alvyGIU53nGYZ
And we are able to use the image as such:
And that's it, you're now able to use your Google Drive as a way of hosting images for you.
