How to insert an inline image in Google Colaboratory from Google Drive

If you have a link like this, then I’ve got a solution.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/-------/view?usp=sharing

1. In Google Drive, right-click on the picture

2. Choose ‘Get a sharable link’

   

3. Click to ‘Copy link’. You need reader permissions. Just need the id of the image.

   

In my case my link is:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xDrydbSbijvK2JBftUz-5ovagN2B_RWH/view?usp=sharing

Now we need to copy JUST the image id:

1xDrydbSbijvK2JBftUz-5ovagN2B_RWH

We will use this base link to generate your link with the image id:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=your_id

We then copy the id in the link:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1xDrydbSbijvK2JBftUz-5ovagN2B_RWH

Finally, to place as an image in Google Colab:
