Private Drive Photos in the Slides API

[jackwilmerding]

Hi. I'm using a client oauth that has both full Drive and full Slides scope. Given this, why can I not use private drive images with the CreateImageRequest? This is somewhat experience-breaking, as most people do not want to make personal/school/work images for slide decks public.

I was following this tutorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LSUbKZq4ZY

Here was the exact error message: <HttpError 400 when requesting [request url] returned "Invalid requests[0].createImage: There was a problem retrieving the image. The provided image should be publicly accessible, within size limit, and in supported formats.". Details: "Invalid requests[0].createImage: There was a problem retrieving the image. The provided image should be publicly accessible, within size limit, and in supported formats.">

I have confirmed these images exist at the provided URIs and comply with image size and format restrictions, so it's definitely a private/public image issue. If a google developers project has credentials for both services, is it not possible to get these private images? Thanks for considering my question.

Facing the same issue here. Can someone from Google team chime in on here?

@parthea Is there a plan to add this to the roadmap? I'd just like to know so I can stop spinning my wheels on it. Thank you!

@parthea any update to this? would be super, super helpful since I'm making a bunch of plots/tables that have to be uploaded as images
