Insert images from Google Drive

Google Drive is a free and very popular cloud drive, once you have a google account, you will have 15G google drive, it is stable and reliable, google drive is one of my personal favorite cloud drives. With the 15G space we can store a lot of photos, videos and other files. Google drive also allow you share your resources to certain people or to the public.

I like to use google drive store my photos, when I write a post I want to insert the photo I already have in my google drive, the good thing of this way is the photo insert to the post is just link, so it is pretty fast to publish your post to th e blog service, manage photos on google drive is easier than most blog services, normally this is true. The only drawback is once you use the photo in google drive, you should never remove the photo from google drive, otherwise your post will not show as you expect.

To use photos from your google drive, you need share the Folder which contains photos to public, you need do it on your google drive as shown below.

Second, click "Insert from Google Drive" button in the toolbar or menu "Insert->Google Drive" , then in the popup dialog click Login to login your google account and allow Matrix  Writer access your resources on your google drive, please note Matrix Writer does not know your password and save any sensitive information of your account.

After login to your google account, your google folders will be retrieved and displayed as below. 

Browser and select the folder which contains photos you want to use in your blog.
