I don’t know the path for google drive images, but local images are formatted like this:

![my otter Win](<file:///C:/Users/USER/PathTo/MyFolder/otter.jpg>)

![my otter macOS](<file:///Users/USER/PathTo/MyFolder/otter.jpg>)

but in this case i dont want store the images in my system that is the reason to store it in the cloud and just use a link to view the image in obsidian. if i store the images in the system the vault it would be heavy otherwise if store it in cloud it would be small size

This doesn’t look like an external .png or .jpg link to me. Good luck!

I used: ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/drive-viewer/AFGJ81qj5iWiZnwDKduD2gOqOyQYYlzd7EvbjG7Hdx8inwOkaVU4fS7y9AuBa7P_7dEgb75qhRqhcSD7_hG8StvGqAAu5iIB=w2378-h1484)

And see:

Copied the image address using the web inspector in Safari.

Solution using chrome
remember folder containing files have to be in anyone with link can view
open the full view of the image settings-> more tools-> develover tools → look for

lh3.googleusercontent.com then just copy link inside u/0/drive-viewer
