Image Url from google Drive cannot visualize
I was having the same issue in Power BI. After few research I found out that instead of https://drive.google.com/download?id=yourfileid use thumbnail?id and add '&sz=w1000' after the ID.
Your link should look like this
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=yourfileid&sz=w1000
I'm facing a similar issue. Previously, I had a functioning method for displaying images stored on Google Drive, but it's no longer working.
The images are accessible for anyone with a link and I have created an "image url".
Here is an example a Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_JbEnHytGcEfSIO4a5xntXpnjYgNR-1v/view
And here is an example of the image url: https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1_KabVVna_EVLFgLo9PbphrnYDVsGjbXt
Unfortunately, neither link works, resulting in no images being displayed in my Power BI (PBI) file:
To eliminate the possibility of other datasets causing the issue, I created a new file solely with the imageurl table, but the error persisted. Publishing to the web service or trying to resolve this through the web service didn't solve the problem either.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions or insights into what might be the issue?
