invisible photos

[watervole]

 Let me guess, anyone with a google account of some sort could see the sword dance photo?

 

And those who could not were those who don't use Google as a search engine, or don't use Google Photos, etc?

I'm consistent with this theory. I have another tab in this browser logged into Gmail.

Hm. So what can I do to show a photo to non-Google users when it's one of my own photos?

See kotturinn's comment below yours. Thoughts?

Dunno: I'm reading this on a Windows laptop.

Not explicitly logged in to e.g. Gmail in the browser (Chrome) and have changed default search engine but, it being Android, I'm pretty well owned by Google on it. And if I open Gmail in a tab it automatically logs me in to so I'm slightly surprised. While explicitly logged in to Gmail I refreshed this tab and still can't see them.

When I'm feeling a bit more compos mentis I'll put my thinking cap on & poke around.
More compost mentis at the moment with 'entertaining' digestive system bug...
My first thought is what did you choose for the sharing permissions?

I have a Google account & it's currently logged in for gmail on this browser, but I can't see the photo.
I copied the image link from the page source and tried to open it, but got what looks like a "permission denied" page in response.

I could see the photos in your post, but now I cannot.

How were you creating the link? When I use the share icon, and create a link, it states that it'll create a link that anyone can use, and indeed I can see the image using an Incognito tab where I'm not logged into Google at all. If that's not working, Google have messed up.

I have a Google account and am logged in on this browser. I can't see your photos. :(

I have been having problems accessing Google documents for my Yiddish class recently even though their permissions have been set to everyone with the link. My Yiddish teacher reports that others have been having issues too. Maybe Google is getting glitchy.
