apps-script-driveImage2sheets

Get images from a drive file and insert to google sheets with the =IMAGE() formula.

Be aware:

This script will set the image 'access to everyone with link' as viewer. This may not work on Workspace users. Depends on the admin settings. You have a script runtime limitation, so maybe you need to batch process.

Installation:

• Tools -> Script editor.
• Clear the little code you see and past the code from below.
• Optional: change the , to ; on codeline 58 / 60 if you have sheets formula's with ;.
• Execute once, give permission and ignore the error.
• Close the script editor.
• Refresh your spreadsheet browser tab.

Use:

Now you see a new menu: "Drive images" in there there are 4 options:

Setup:

• Enter google drive folder id where the images are stored (if you need to batch proces, delete the images that are done and add new ones)
• Choose image filetype: png / jpeg / gif / svg
• Choose image mode: 1 / 2 / 3 (4 is not supported in this script) 1 = resizes the image to fit inside the cell, maintaining aspect ratio. 2 = stretches or compresses the image to fit inside the cell, ignoring aspect ratio. 3 = leaves the image at original size, which may cause cropping.
• On / off switch. If you leave blank then nothing, if you want a on off switch then enter the cell A1Notation like: A1. This wrap the =IMAGE inside a IF statement. This will make a checkbox in that cell. If it is checked the =IMAGE formula will be used, if it is unchecked then blank.

Run preconfigured

• Run the script with the settings above.

Run manually
