Image display in App sheet from Google Drive using URL in V.C

[Khaled44]

I have noticed the message in my App sheet editor : "Google Drive is changing how some of its content is served and downloaded. If you are embedding Drive files in your apps using a drive.google.com/uc URL, you will need to update those URLs wherever they are stored by May 1st, Learn More"

I accesses the Link attached to that message and it mentioned :

"From January 2, 2024, Google began changing how files, including images, are accessed in google Drive. If you are relying on Google Drive download URLs (for example, drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=File_ID) your AppSheet app will not display these files, especially images and videos, to your users when these changes are fully in effect."

Im still not clear on the whether using the URL "drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=File_ID) " to display images in Virtual Columns will not work any more after May 1st 2024. If that is the case then what is the alternative to displaying images in Virtual columns?

They are wanting you to use iframe embedding like this <iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/YourFileId/preview" width="640" height="480" allow="autoplay"></iframe>. I have not tested if just the url works like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/YourFileId/preview.
