curl -I -L "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/FILE_ID" Watch for HTTP/2 200 and content-type: image/*. Non-200 status (302 to a login page) bombs.

Cache-bust during development by adding ?v=rand to the URL; Chrome DevTools "Offline-cache off" alone will not revalidate the CDN copy.

Handheld rig captured 96 kHz rehearsals that exploded past the free tier? Zip the day's folder, upload during sound-check, then trash the local copy. The cloud copy streams back at full resolution for tomorrow's editing session, freeing 8 GB on the laptop SSD for virtual instruments you actually need on stage.

Create a second tab labeled "Vars". Log daily groceries, fuel, coffee here; a simple =SUMIF(Vars!A:A,"Groceries",Vars!B:B) drags the total back to your main sheet. Set a hard cap of 12 % of net income for this category; when the cell hits the limit, the formula blocks further entries with data validation.

Want to share a dynamic version? Add-ons → "Create a new filter view" while the secured ranges are invisible, name it Guest, then tag &filter=External to the share URL. Visitors can arrange their own copy without touching raw numbers.

Overwrite FILE_ID with the 33-character chunk. The finished address for the sample file When the "Get direct link generator for Google Drive" panel stops offer the old toggle, tack &usp=sharing by hand to the address bar while the item is open, hit F5, then redo the substitution above. This coerces the back-end to serve the 2019-style permalink.

Schedule a quarter-hour session with a head-shot specialist who wields a 70–200 mm lens set wide open f/2.8; the telephoto flattening removes the sneaky wide-angle bulge that phone cameras slap on jaws and noses. Request a single key light 45° left of camera, 1.5 m high, with a silver reflector across. This arrangement spits out a 3:1 lighting ratio—punchy to inject depth, creamy to stop wrinkles from becoming craters. Export the final file at 2048 px on the long side, sRGB, with a 40 px feathered vignette; LinkedIn’s algorithm crushes anything heavier and the vignette locks the viewer’s eye on the pupil, the single part of the frame that must not be retouched without looking fake.

Substitute /open?id= with /uc?id= and strip all after the next slash. Drop the result into a blank tab–if the image renders solo, you’ve scored a naked endpoint that bypasses the viewer wrapper and pipes the binary straight from Google’s CDN.

Pick Background, Lighting, and Angle That Echo Your Niche Ditch the default gray studio wall for a brand-matched backdrop that echoes your sector: dark emerald (#013220) for sustainability consultants, deep blue (#003366) for fintech lawyers, or a 90 % white sweep (#f2f2f2) for clinical staff. Order a 1.6 × 2.3 m vinyl sheet; flat finish zaps hotspots at f/2.8.
