Anyone use Fototime for photo hosting?

Thanks, but I mean display it on here sans links. 1492 did it but I'll be darned if I can figure out how.

When you generate the hot link in Google drive, you need to copy the entire shareable URL hot link for that photo to the clipboard.

FOR PICTURES ONLY! Once you have the URL link, you use the advanced posting editor and hit the little yellow square box which looks like a mountain scene with a sun..

Paste the URL you copied from the Google drive there and make sure you set the width and height to no more than the max allowed on the forum (500 Wide by 100 high I believe)..

The trick here is getting your folder on Google drive setup as sharing without password or login required.. Only put items in that folder that you don't mind having shared.

I believe there is a setting for Read only on the folder that you might wish to enable if it is not by default, otherwise those items will be editable and possibly deleted..

You can also create a shareable hotlink to the folder and when you give that link all items in that folder can be viewed (sort of like a "photo album" of sorts but not sorted and no captions).

Been a while since I setup a shared folder so memory is a bit fuzzy and if all else fails, just do a search on how to setup a shared folder on Google drive.. I think that is how I figured it out.

Some of the terminology they use is confusing..

I might also add, to make things easy on my side and so I don't always have to open Google drive to get a link in the future, I create a document in Word or even notepad and paste that link from the clipboard into that document with a note of what that link is for. Save the document and now I have a quick reference of those shared docs.
