 * from post editor > add media > link to dropbox it finds the folder I want and
   when I click the image file, it inserts an <a href into the post, not an image
   src …
 * is that normal? the plugin doesn’t really pull images from dropbox?
    will it 
   work with GoogleDrive (I don’t have an account setup and I’m too lazy to test)
 * Thanks

 * [@wasanajones](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wasanajones/) yes that is 
   normal. Dropbox doesn’t allow to server your images directly from your dropbox
   account.
