image links in card browser
I cannot get images to show in the Card Browser visual. I have tried using Web URL and Image URL data types and storing the image in either google drive or onedrive.
Ideally I would love to show two images - one on the front and one on the back of the card. I would settle for one image though. ;)
Thanks, Lori Bragg
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that you have to use direct hyperlinks to images.
The direct link can be get by opening your URLs that you shared.
After that you should right click the image and copy image address.
Hyperlinks will look something like these:

I was having this problem.
Then I realized that the card browser does not accept the link without "http://" before.I don't know if that's your problem, I hope it helped.Regards,Gabriel Lopes- v-viigCommunity Champion
Can you share a link that is broken in Card Browser?
I'd like to check its format.

Hi, I am trying the image url from https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185/q0R4crx2SehcEEQEkYObktdeFy.jpg, which is accessible from my browser. But when I add it to the card browser, I only see blank space instead of the image. I have tried the steps of converting the data type of the column having the image url to 'Image url'. Still it doesn't seem to work. it is https:// link and it is of the format .jpg. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what i am missing? Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Nikita,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the Browser Dev tools-Network tab, but I don't see any errors there. I am able to see the image while accessing the url through the browser. Only when I add the image url to the Card browser, I am not able to see the image.
Kind Regards,
Annie
