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 - Andrew ---

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

The 401 URL is: [https://api2-amb.transloadit.com/companion/dropbox/thumbnail/%2Fanchor%2Fstencil%2F02%20quote%20images%2Foriginal%2Fstencil.business%2Ffacebook%2Fimage-1.940x788.png](https://api2-amb.transloadit.com/companion/dropbox/thumbnail/%2Fanchor%2Fstencil%2F02%20quote%20images%2Foriginal%2Fstencil.business%2Ffacebook%2Fimage-1.940x788.png) As you can see from this screenshot, the binary data is getting shown: [![](https://i.imgur.com/AECX0vp.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/AECX0vp.png) ---

Hi there, thank you for reporting this issue. This is a [known issue](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/2576) that will be fixed soon. This behaviour should however not affect file uploads for the time being. ---
