Images are unavailable after adding to a test case with the direct link

In 2023 we were adding images to test steps using Google Drive Direct Link Generator and Google Drive images. Now all the images are unavailable. We don't want to store images at the hosting services we store them at the company's Google Drive.
How can we add them to the Squash test step?

Hey there! It sounds like you're encountering an issue with adding images to test steps in Squash.snake game If the images are stored in your company's Google Drive, you might need to ensure that the permissions are set correctly for Squash to access them. Double-check the sharing settings on Google Drive to make sure they're set to allow access to Squash.

I feel your pain with the image link issue in Squash. It’s a bummer when things that used to work suddenly go sideways!
One workaround you might try is using a different image hosting service that allows hotlinking or even converting your Google Drive links to a more compatible format. Ensure the sharing settings are set to "Anyone with the link can view."
If that doesn’t do the trick, consider reaching out to Squash support or checking their forums for any updates on this. Sometimes, they roll out changes that can mess with our usual flows. Keep us posted on what works for you!

great

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing a similar issue in Squash TM regarding test execution behavior not updating correctly in the UI after orchestration. Could someone clarify if this is usually caused by configuration (like orchestrator URL/public URL settings) or a mismatch in test reference mapping?

It sounds frustrating to deal with image accessibility issues in Squash! Have you tried using a different method to share images, like generating a public link from Google Drive and ensuring the sharing settings allow anyone with the link to view? This might help keep your images accessible in your test steps.

If your company policies allow, consider storing images on a local server or a shared drive that can be accessed easily by Squash.
