I'am trying to limit the option to upload images in a Google Form to images captured by camera only. Basically I'm trying to remove the options "Photo library" and "Browse".
image upload options
I was wondering if using some Google Apps Script could help. Thank you.

So for my class I have downloaded, and uploaded documentaries to gdrive I need to analyse. Though when I embed these google drive videos in notion.so (notion doesn't allow html type embeds, and only supports links without styling) the thumbnail will just be a random frame in the video. Is there any google apps script that can change the thumbnail to an image stored on my drive?
I am aware of this, but it is of no luck to me. (I do know that it is not a google as)
Thanks in advance!
In short,
No. At this moment in time the google drive api does not allow changing thumbnails of files, in which google drive provides its own thumbnail.
"If Drive can generate a thumbnail from the file, then it will use the generated one and ignore any you may have uploaded. If it can't generate a thumbnail, it will always use yours if you provided one." - Google Drive for Developers
I have been trying to determine the best approach to upload images from google forms to firebase. Currently, based on this Google thread, there is currently no way to grab the image.
Is there an alternative to grab an image from the Google Form and upload it to Firebase?
The Link to the upload folder is provided in the Form Editor
I have a webpage that has an image that is stored in google drive, and using the google drive embed code results in this-
and I want to include this image in my website without the border and tools, making it look like this-
Adding the image file to my project is not an option, as I am using google apps script as web domain as I am not old enough to have a credit card to purchase REAL web domain, and I am broke and cannot simply rake leaves or shovel driveways because of COVID. so I cannot add the image file to my project, any advice?
Answer:
Instead of the embed code, use the view link.
Example:
<img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILE_ID_HERE">
This solution is a little bit ironic. The tool that stack overflow uses for images can be used for anything else, so I just had to right-click on the image in this question, click on 'copy image URL' then put it in my website and I got a working image!
I am trying to use Google Drive's api to essentially host and link to images from an external site.
The problem I'm encountering, is when people upload a bunch of photos in the provided folder, I seem to only be able to use the webViewLink to view individual photos. I noticed that in the google drive folder, there is a very convenient photo preview that lets you click left and right to browse photos.
I was wondering if this preview view is possible to be linked to directly. It doesn't seem like the url changes but if this is possible, any help to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
If your user has permission to view the folder, you can use the embedded folder view to embed a view of the folder, which should show all the images contained within.
The URL pattern looks like https://drive.google.com/embeddedfolderview?id={{folderId}}#grid where {{folderId}} is the ID of the drive folder.
That gives a nice preview, but requires the user has view access on the folder. If they do not, you'll need to auth the request with your own token so that it will render properly for the end user.
Can I use images stored in Google Drive to be used in a website by the html,<img src="<webContentLink>" /> ?
Where <webContentLink> is returned after a file is uploaded and is in the format, 'https://drive.google.com/uc?id=<FILEID>&export=download'
I have a small website created for account users only. They can upload files to their google drive folder and this folder has permissions set to share with the accounts of the other users (specific people only). This is an ASP.NET MVC 5 website using the Google API Client Libraries for .NET.
In Chrome and Firefox the images display fine, in IE and Safari they don't show and return a 302 status code. Sometimes if you view the image directly in a new tab and then refresh the web page it shows. It might also show if the folder permission is set to 'anyone with the link', but this isn't ideal.
The documentation (https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/manage-downloads) says, 'If you want to allow a user to view a file directly in a web browser instead of through the API, use the webContentLink.' I understood this to be okay to use img src='' to display an image directly without the API, however it then goes on to say, 'You can either redirect a user to this URL, or offer it as a clickable link'.
So can Google please confirm if 'webContentLink' can be used in img src='', or not and why it works in some browsers and not others? I've read many posts on this, some old, some more recent. If it's not to be used in img src I think it should be made clear in the documentation.
Many thanks
Yes, you can definitely use webContentLink as your img src in your HTML page. I tried and this is what I got on my sample HTML page.
<img src = "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0Bzgk4zncCwI7aDZCSHY4YU0zNUF&export=download">
webContentLink can be obtained using Files.list and place 'files' in the fields parameter.
Displaying an image from Google Drive can be done in 3 steps:
Retrieving your image ID
Right click on your image and select Share.
You'll see a link that you need to copy. You will extract the image's ID from the URL.
Here is what your sharing link should look like:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=YourFileId
Check your sharing settings
Your images will only be visible to people who have access to those files. To allow anyone access to your images, you need to set the sharing setting as Visible with the link.
Display your image
With your sharing settings properly configured and your image file IDs at hand, you can now specify how your images will be displayed using a prescribed format.
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=YourFileID
More details can be found here
when I do this I just get a sign like an nonexistent image.
Why?
I just copy paste this line:
<img src = "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0Bzgk4zncCwI7aDZCSHY4YU0zNUF&export=download">
