On Google Drive, the direct link is very hard to get to. First you have to click share, then "Get shareable link", then open that shareable link in a browser where you're not logged in, then choose the three dots, then choose "embed item", then copy the link out of the iframe source.
Does anybody have opinions on relative merits, especially general compatibility?
Again, imgur.com was designed for the very simplest photo sharing experience possible. You upload an image and get a random-looking URL that no one can guess unless you send it to them. You don't need an account. If you are not logged in, there's a "delete" link that you can copy for future use. If you're logged in, there's a lot of friendly management stuff, but none of it's necessary for simple image sharing: just upload it and send out the link. -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~mike http://reperiendi.wordpress.com
