Hello @user762000jc4rgb, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1), the [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8), and our [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/get-started) to make the best of your Thunkable Community experience!

The best solution is to use an image URL that ends in a file extension such as PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, etc.

Google usually places them in their own web wrapper and will remove the original file extension from the URL.

You could upload your images to a third-party hosting service like [Cloudinary](https://docs.thunkable.com/files#connecting-your-cloudinary-db-to-your-thunkable-project).

They have an [upload Widget](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_widget) allowing you to upload assets from Google Drive into Cloudinary.

You can upload your files there for free and then use them in your database with their URL.

Regarding limiting to one image, could you please create a [Custom Data Viewer Layout](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/ui-components/data-components/data-viewers/custom-data-viewer#to-save-a-layout-as-a-data-viewer)?

If any of those steps are unclear, let me know, and I will be happy to explain further.
