Purpose
Confluence currently does not support images that are currently being shared through shareable link from Google Drive. However, there is a workaround that allows an image to be shown in Confluence.
Why does the sharable link not work in confluence?
Google drive requires OAuth to be configured to be able to access the files from another application. Please have a look at the Google Drive Documentations on the requirement
If a third-party add-on is used to request a connection to Google Drive and it's not configured correctly, the error below will be thrown in Confluence.
