( you can use the following code as a template just replacing the asterisks with your file name)

We are going to do the same but replace the link with one to an external location. You visually see the image in the post but its not really or physically IN the post. WordPress then inserts a link in the post or page to the Image stored in your media gallery. I want it to appear in my website as an image in a post or page,įirst you have to remember when you add media to a post or page, WordPress takes you to your Media Gallery to select an image to display. We will only keep the FILE ID (in blue) from the original shareable link, not whole link. 13g8OJmkTStwJ-oU-0VB-0yvL2BebVE1Z /view?usp=sharingĬurrently if i used it this way it would just open in a browser window to view. Here is the full shareable link for an image (google drive icon) I have in Drive. Now I have the shareable file link, how do I use it? Show images on your website from google drive. Just Copy That and Use it Wherever you want.Here you can see File ID & sharing link.Go to each required selected file (inside the folder)and click on Share (a Dialog Box will Appear).To use or share files out of google drive you need File ID or shareable link of each file.Upload your files to your new “CDN” folder.Now your new folder is effectively a CDN folder and it can accessible without login.Select First Option On-Public on the web and hit Save Button.

Click on Change in front of Private – Only you can access.

Once created, right click on it, from the list of options select Share.

At the top left of the window you will see a “+New” button.

If you use the google chrome browser you may already be logged in. There after you just add whatever you need to this one folder. It will only take a couple of minutes in realtime. I broke it into such small bites just to make it perfectly clear and transparent. You see I have broken it down to 16 steps but in truth its only half a dozen. Don’t worry, its really not hard to use Google Drive as a CDN.
