And it's as easy as that!
Or, do they accept data URIs -
shine9696y@AllanTaylor314 why can't they just accept an image from my computer? IIRC, they did earlier.
And no, they don't accept data:// URIs. I tried for the sake of it. -
shine9696y@vlatkozelka Oh damn, you're right. Coming to think of it, I shouldn't be ranting about this.

Anyway, where was this. Normally Google lets you select from google drive, upload, search, and paste a URL
-
@shine Ah, that would be a 'We can host 15 GB of your stuff for free but not a small image for your email signature'
-
@shine does google hot link the image from wherever the URL points, or do they host it themselves anyway
-
shine9696y@AllanTaylor314 I think they hotlink the images. If I remember correctly, I linked an image that was killed over by react versioning and now I have a broken image in my email signature which led me to have to change the image so that in the rare cases that I had to use the dumb web interface to send out emails, my email signature wouldn't look so shitty.
