- when you host an image on google drive or dropbox you can't use the direct url of your file to be an image source.
- you need to make changes to this url in order to use it directly as an image source.
- This App will take the url of your image file, and change it to be used directly as an image source.
- Important : you need to check your files permessions first, and wether it's public.
