Image thiumbnail when loading from url/dropbox/etc

Hello,
If I enter an image from a url or dropbox or google drive (at least, these are the ones I have used) before pressing upload file, I don’t see a thumbnail of the image.
The same behavior happens to your demo pages. Is it something you did deliberately or is it a bug? Is it possible to preview the file before uploading?

Thanks

Hi there. I know this is a late response, but if this issue is still troubling you, I may be able to shed some light on this.

I have no idea why the thumbnails for google drive and Dropbox aren’t loading. Perhaps it’s a network issue. Although, at the time you posted it, it’s very possible that thumbnail support for google drive and Dropbox wasn’t here yet.

For URL based, I don’t know why thumbnails don’t load. There’s a good chance that this was purposeful though.

I hope I helped

I’m also having Dropbox thumbanils not show up, however when uploading, the image does get transferred correctly. Any thoughts?

The 401 URL is:

As you can see from this screenshot, the binary data is getting shown:

Hi there, thank you for reporting this issue.

This is a known issue that will be fixed soon. This behaviour should however not affect file uploads for the time being.
