Up until now, we’ve had to mull whether or not we want to view images because all sorts of security sliminess and privacy pitfalls can lurk behind them.Ĭlicking on images is like leaving whatever fortress you’re holed up in and venturing out into the wide, open, scary world of somebody else’s HTTP territory. You were relieved of this choice as of Friday, when Google announced that Gmail users will now see images automatically.Īutomatic image viewing for desktops was enabled on Friday, and we’ll see it on Android and iOS apps in early 2014. Then create a signature.Īlternatively, open Gmail in your browser's incognito mode or try a different browser to insert an image in your signature.They should if you’re a Gmail user, since Google just lifted from users what one assumes must have been the heavy burden of having to choose whether to display images in email. If multiple Google accounts are added, log out from all of them. You should log out from your Gmail account to fix issues with the signature image. Further, if you have a work or school Gmail account, you should contact your administrator to share Drive images publicly. Note: Do not delete the images from your Google Drive while being used in your signature. Now you can either select the image directly from Drive folders that show up in Gmail’s signature window or copy-paste the image link when you click on the Insert image option. Change the permission mode to ‘Anyone with the link’ can view the file. You can read more about Google Drive sharing permissions.įor that, open Google Drive and right-click on the image. So you will need to change the permission manually. That's why you might see a question mark icon. Typically, when you insert an image from Google Drive in Gmail’s signature, its privacy will automatically change to ‘Anyone can view it’.
Hopefully, your signature image will appear.
