Create a Google Drive Link for Photos

Follow the steps below to create a Google Drive link for your photos.

1. Right-Click on the Photo

Select the photo you wish to share and right-click on it.

2. Click on “Share” from the Menu

Hover over the “Share” option and then click “Share” from the submenu.  This opens the sharing settings window where you can manage permissions and generate a shareable link.

3. Change the Access Setting to “Anyone with the Link”

In the “General access” section, click the button that says “Restricted“. Change it to “Anyone with the link” and set the role (e.g., Viewer). This allows anyone with the link to access the photos based on the role you set.

4. Click “Copy Link” to Copy the URL

Click “Copy link” to save the link to your clipboard. This makes it easy to paste and share the link with others directly.

Note: If you leave the access setting as “Restricted,” only specific people added by email will have access. Make sure to set the access to “Anyone with the link” if you want others to view the photos using just the link.
