Showing the google drive file in Appian as a preview

But I do not want to ask the user to sign in to his google account before using the Appian application.

I don't think this is the only way to do it.

Appian is loading that image in the browser. So your user needs to be logged in to Google drive to see any image.

if the image in google drive is private and the drive account is already signed out, then a!webimage couldn't be able to get that image from google drive. right?

I'm unclear why that's relevant here...

For Startup its looks g-drive mapping is alright as you mentioned above. I guess we can have uid of image in URL and use this way to get image if I understood properly.

a!imageField(
  label: "Image",
  labelPosition: "ABOVE",
  images: {
    a!webImage(
      source:"https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B9o1MNFt5ld1N3k1cm9tVnZxQjg",
    )
  },
  size: "MEDIUM",
  isThumbnail: false,
  style: "STANDARD"
)

LOL ... If I would have the spare time, then yes ...

Please try it yourself and share your experience here.

Stefan, This Platform is very much familiar to you, if you try, then you can come up with a solid solution.

I do not have any sample code or ever tried to do this kind of things.

Stefan, Please share the sample code with me,

and also, the thing is I just want to keep my files private.
