How to post images from OneDrive

Trude

Just trying to get images embedded from my OneDrive account...

Trude

Bingo.

For anyone who's interested, I did this:

• From the browser view of my OneDrive files, I right clicked on the image, and selected "Embed"
• Press the "Generate" button
• Selected "Large" from the pic size dropdown (original size ended up stretched)
• Selected "Include html tags"
• Copied the html and then pasted it into the post editor in html view

Done

Yep, that's the only way I've managed to do it as well.

Maybe the mods can add this to the sticky post?

Thanks @Trude.

We need to update all the pic hosting "how to" guides - so this will get included.  It's a bit cumbersome, but that's our fault rather than yours or OneDrive's.

@Trude - sorry, I just see a little blue square, and if I click on it I get a "Page not found" error - this using Chrome on a Chromebook.

I'm guessing that the photo has been deleted from the OneDrive account, hence it disappearing from here.

Yes, I probably removed that original test photo.
The method I described still works though. Give it a try!

^^  I tried it in Windows 11 but couldn't understand the slightly-different options so I gave up.

Just use Imgur

Piece of cake.

As a viewer/buyer I hate Imgur - it never seems to embed properly when viewing on Android, and when I click the link, their viewer doesn't have a "next image" button, so I end up going back and clicking each link one at a time. Tedious.
