Embed images in Workspace descriptions

1

Google Drive can be used to add images to your Workspace Description. Many other picture sources will not work.

From your browser:

  1. Upload the image to Google Drive (+New > File Upload)

  2. Right-click the image in your Google Drive and select “Get link”

  3. Change permissions from “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link”

  4. Copy only the file ID: the part of the part of the URL between /d/ and /view?usp=sharing
    File-id

  5. Insert the file ID into the following markdown in the Workspace description:
    ![<alt description>](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=<File ID>)

Just wanted to note that this approach no longer works :smiling_face_with_tear:

Another workaround is using a raw file from GitHub. For example:
