image links in card browser
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:

You need to share you image in One Drive or Google Drive and grant "View permissions" for the images to view them w/o authentication.
Please let us know if that resolves the issue on your side.

These are the photo links now. They still aren't showing up. This is report creation page looks like. There is a grey area where the photo would be, but no picture.

This worked - at least for the google drive content. I couldn't get the one drive files to work but I think it's because it's my one drive account and it's assuming I want to go directly there. When I try to right-click nothing happens.
Thanks so much - at last I can move forward!!!
For One Drive please click "View original" instead of right clicking.

Suddenly it's not working - now I get a 403 error on the images when I manually try them - nothing in PBI, I downloaded January's update. Otherwise I haven't really touched them.
403 HTTP code indicates that this image requires authentication.
Can you share the link that you generated?

Don't know why but it's working again. Probably user error... sorry.
FYI - this visual is a tad wonky. First, all the cards showing should have photos because each has a link - and they are all formatted the same way - some show on the Desktop version and others on the Online version. Second, the sort field doesn't do anything I can see. Third, none of the formatting I've applied seems to work: the date field won't show MMMM,YYYY and the $ filed won't show commas. Is it something I'm doing and just can't see?
Card Browser shows all of images if they are available.
Formatting works well for me.
Is it possbile to share the your report to debug it?

I'm not sure how. I tried to share by adding the email in your response it says you aren't in my organization. If you tell me how, I can probably share a test copy.
Did you design the report in Power BI Desktop? If so, please share the pbix report for debugging.
If the report is only available in Power BI web you can use Publish to Web feature to share the report for debugging.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnKBlgF3bEXQi26UpB8tb0PH0u4J I hope this link will share the file.
All of images require authentication.
How exactly did you share image in Google Drive? Did you share all of them for public access?

I went through and found each image, created a link, copied and pasted the link to another tab and then saved the "Copy Image Address". I'm fairly certain I did the same procedure every time. You can tell if there should be a photo because the card has a space left at the top where it thinks the image is. Now neither service or desktop has any images. They seem to come and go.
I really love this concept. I'd love to be able to do an app like this, put the before photos on one side and the after photo on the other. If there is a way to do this in Power Apps I'd love to know... I just haven't had time to play over in that pool.
Did you share all of images explicitly?
Did you click "Share" button for each image?

Hi
I also met the problem about the showing of images. As today, i get all the data from sharepoint, same as image, but i could not have image from card browser.
Is there some requirement on the size of image?
or is there any requirement on the place of image saving?
Are these image links accessible? Did you publish all of them explicity?

How to you mean it is accessible, i used the shared link from Google Dive.
The visualization keeped the space for the picture, but it just did not show. That is why i am wondering the size of pic and place of pic.
Can you share any hyperlink to reproduce this issue from our side?
