confused   Trouble linking to Google Drive Docs
Trying to link to a document on google drive

I have set the access to: Public on the web - Anyone on the Internet can find and view.

I can create the link but it shows a broken thumbnail image when clicked.

here's the link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Go86tgTSznSU5iOEpRTVllZlk/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks!

Re: Trouble linking to Google Drive Docs
I'm not sure what HTML you are using, but this is what it would be to link to that image:

<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Go86tgTSznSU5iOEpRTVllZlk/edit?usp=sharing">My image</a>

Re: Trouble linking to Google Drive Docs
OK, thanks Marc, I'll try what you have posted. It's the link that google drive gives when I ask for a public link.

sad   Re: Trouble linking to Google Drive Docs
Turns out Google Drive doesn't like to link to anything other than its own created docs. So any image files have to be inserted into a Drive created document and then linked.
