In that case, note that by default, shared links point to a HTML preview page for the file, but if you need direct file data access, you can modify the links as shown here.

    this is exactly what i need, a link to an html with the image, however, it's not working for me, i already had a good look at the documentation, but for some reason, the shared link doesn't work

      khatech Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "the shared link doesn't work"? For instance, please share:

       

      • the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
      • the full text of any error or unexpected output, a screenshot of the unexpected result/behavior, etc.

        the problem with the link is that when clicking it asks you to log in, so I need a link that when pasting it in the browser it makes the image preview.

        Thank you for your help
