I am trying to insert an image in Google Colaboratory (markdown) already saved in Google Drive using this expression ![Text](https://xxxx)
but it doesn't work. For example, the Colaboratory markdown manual shows how to insert a photo inline with this example An inline image: ![Google's logo](https://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png)
. Ok, that is a photo from internet, but, when I replace that photo for one already saved in my Google Drive it doesn't appear.
First, open google drive & upload the image on the drive. Select the uploaded image, right-click on it, get a sharable link & copy it. Open Google Colab Notebook & add text block where you want to include the image. The general code to include an image is given below.
You can import files module from google. colab . Then call upload() to launch a “File Upload” dialog and select the file(s) you wish to upload. Once the upload is complete, your file(s) should appear in “Files explorer” and you can read the file as you would normally.
The function cv2. imshow() is used to display an image in a window. This function takes 2 arguments. The first argument is the window name (Specify unique window names to display multiple images) and the second argument is the image to be displayed.
If you have a link like this, then I've got a solution.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/-------/view?usp=sharing
Choose 'Get a sharable link'
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:
![](https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1xDrydbSbijvK2JBftUz-5ovagN2B_RWH)
