Workaround: Google Drive Images - Solution for Closed Thread

I’m opening this topic to share a workaround for an issue discussed in this closed thread about Google Drive images not working properly in ActivePieces flows.

Since the original topic is closed, preventing further replies (which is unfortunate as the issue wasn’t fully resolved), I’m creating this new post to share my solution.

To work around this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Use the Google Drive “Read file” action to retrieve the image.
  2. Convert the image to Base64 using the “Image Helper” piece.
  3. Upload the Base64 image to Imgur and obtain the public URL.
  4. Use this public URL in your flow

This method not complete solve as we need a third party in the game, but it’s a workaround that can help.

I hope this workaround helps others facing similar issues. If you have any questions or alternative solutions, please share feel free to comment.

Note to moderators: Consider reopening the original thread if this is still an ongoing issue, as it may benefit from further discussion and potential official solutions.
