Generate Image links
You can often use the links from the Preview link column as image links. You can't use these links on some websites or services for various reasons. Drive Explorer can generate usable image links that work across services.
Looking to generate image links for your eCommerce products? I’m working on an exclusive product just for that. You can submit your interest here!
You can use this feature only when you list files from Google Drive dashboard.
Before listing the files in the browser, select Image Link under the Fields dropdown. Then, click on Fetch files.
After listing the files in the browser, select the images in the file list and click the Generate image links button near the hamburger menu at the left of the file list table. Drive Explorer will start generating image links for the files chosen.
For now, image link generation only works when you list the files in the browser. Exporting the file details to the Google Sheet doesn't generate image links.
The files selected should fulfil the following two requirements,
- Should be an image file.
- The size of the image should not exceed 100MB.
The generated link will have the following format,
https://storage.googleapis.com/drive-explorer/1516/1Njov4VdNrh_CFog3M5JcLyRsb8yKUhfD/dino.png
Here, 1516 denotes the account. 1Njov4VdNrh_CFog3M5JcLyRsb8yKUhfD denotes the ID of the folder on Google Drive. dino.png is the name of the file.
How does it work
Drive Explorer uploads the images from your Google Drive to the drive-explorer Google Cloud Storage bucket. The link is sent back to Drive Explorer for your use.
It is a premium feature and requires you to have a premium license to use.
