Hi! We have a large set of .jpg images that are associated as Google Drive links in a base. We’d like to display as image “previews” in the base, in a gallery view. Has anyone had success displaying images from google drive links?

Welcome to the community, Matt! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: There isn’t currently a way to reference an external image and display it in an Airtable field. However, with the help of an integration tool like Integromat, you can use those Google Drive links and copy the images from Google Drive into Airtable as attachments, which would then work in a gallery view. I’ve done some work like this recently, and can help you set this up if you’re interested.

Thanks, Justin! I’ll look into Integromat, and follow up with you if there’s more than meets the eye!
