Linking To Pics On Onedrive

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know whether it is possible to embed a 'direct link' to pics on One Drive (was SkyDrive) into posts on this Forum? i.e. the kind of link where the photo appears in the post without readers having to click anywhere.

I am hoping so, because uploading to OneDrive is so much quicker and easier than Photobucket, or similar free online photo hosting sites I have tried.

Google searches haven't revealed the answer so far ...

There is a public folder in one drive, so I assume you would put it in there and link to the file...I will have a look

If you choose the photo, select share, then an option is get link, this will give you a link that can be inserted into a thread

Why not use DropBox's Public folder? That's easy enough to use.

It works fine for me, have you put the photo in your one drive?

Yes, and I get a msg that the file extension (png) is not allowed on this forum, the same file works from Photobucket. To be clear, I want the pic to appear embedded in my thread, without anyone having to click anywhere

Ahh okay, instead of adding it as an attachment, you should be able to use the little image icon, looks like a polaroid pic and then insert the hyperlink in there. It will embed the picture in the post.

I have tried that, that's when I get the error. That is the method I use for my pics on Photobucket, just that it seems a more long-winded process with Photobucket.

Thanks, that one won't be going any time soon, even when I pare back to one nice example of silver milled per monarch! Ticks all the boxes for me!

Yes, if I had to nominate just one currency coin it would be worth donning my cat burglar suit for, that would be it ... :D
