Google always loses me in the details. That's where the devil is. Based on the previous answer, these are my steps to make an image sharable so it can be used in a notebook.

1. In your Google Drive, create a public folder as follows: a. Create a new folder and name it Image, for instance. b. Right-click the folder just created and select Share from the drop-down menu. c.

6. Replace imageID in the following URL: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id= with the ID you copied in the previous step.
7. Copy this URL in the markdown image tag such as:
