PHOTO/FILE PREVIEW PROBLEM

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

I have a problem viewing images/files. I’m trying to build an image gallery with files that are added to Google Drive. The sheet is filled out using a script that writes ID - Url etc… My problem is that in the inline view of these images I don’t see the preview, but if I click on the photo it displays it correctly. (the directory has been shared for anyone with the link).

I had set the column as File type, thinking that a user could also upload videos to Google Drive.
How do you recommend setting it up to have a nice inline view of the archive?

Hello there,

Only columns of the “Image” type provide the kind of functionality you’re talking about regarding its appearance on inline views.

ok. I changed the type to image, but it still doesn’t show me the preview in the inline view… (the sheet is filled in correctly because if I click it opens the image)

Did you set the image column correctly as the one to display in the inline view?
