How do I copy an image into a thread?

It works! The solution is:

  • Open the image in Google Drive, click “share” and set general access to “anyone with the link”
  • Copy the link to the clipboard
  • Extract the file ID:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eU7GZ-Ir6QBDrR4UqFI32AqLjXrFNvLW/view?usp=sharing
    Becomes:
    1eU7GZ-Ir6QBDrR4UqFI32AqLjXrFNvLW
  • Finally, insert the file ID in this link:
    https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/<file ID>
    So in the example above:
    https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/1eU7GZ-Ir6QBDrR4UqFI32AqLjXrFNvLW

You can then paste that into your post.
