Seems pretty complicated.. for now. I put a picture on ImageEvent, I grab the url, paste, done.
For pictures only I typically just use the "PhotoPosting Is Great" app that 1492 setup for the forum..
Never really tried direct pictures from Google drive as most of what I have shared I did in a PDF file.
What I have figured out is Google drive is "anonymizing" (hiding) the actual URL file name so the link does not have the proper jpg or picture file extension that the forum software is expecting..
Not sure if that can be changed..
Example is this link..
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j-nCvW37Dx7QALJsn_113_NDYREZ8Wkq/view?usp=sharing
The only way I can figure out how to fix that is to make it a clickable link like THIS LINK
From that link it opens up a Google app which opens the photo.
For general pictures that you don't need in some album you can use Rv.net photo posting is great setup by member 1492. You can save the links and copy them into a word doc for future use.
that app adds in the proper format the forum needs so you can just paste into your forum posting.
