Hi all, I have a some sort like a photo album apps. There are around 20+ pages which every page got 5 to10 photos.

Most of it I use the google drive link to show photo in the apps. Every is fine in the preview.

When i export to the andriod version and installed in my phone, I am able to see the photos from some pages. After some time, seems like the apps lost connection or dunno how, all the pages not able to display the photo.

Do anyone face this issue?

Your photos need to have publicly accessible URLs.

See this topic for more about that: [Photo links from google sheets are not displayed in data viewer list](https://community.thunkable.com/t/photo-links-from-google-sheets-are-not-displayed-in-data-viewer-list/2647229)

Hi Tatiang, thanks for the reply. Yes, I already set it as public and using the trick of:  
[https://drive.google.com/uc?id=](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=)(photo link)

The photo do actually showed, just that the apps seems like losing the connection after sometimes, some other pages photo not able to show.

Is /uc?id= or uc?export=view&id= better? 🤔
