Below) then select Copy link from the pop-up box, orselect the link option displayed to the right (see screenshot below) then select Copy link from the pop-up box.Creating a direct download URL for OverleafAfter copying the Google Drive link (URL), paste it into a text editor of your choice—because we will use it to derive a direct download URL for use with Overleaf: a URL that Overleaf can use to download the Google Drive file and add it to your project. After pasting the Google Drive link (URL) into a text editor you should see it has the following structure: construct a download URL we need the following components of the Google Drive link:FILE_IDresourcekey=RESOURCE_KEYHere is an image highlighting the FILE_ID and RESOURCE_KEY components: FILE_ID and RESOURCE_KEY are lengthy alpha-numeric character sequences so be careful when you copy them to avoid missing/dropping any characters.Having extracted the FILE_ID and RESOURCE_KEY, use the following template to construct the download URL for Overleaf: is an image highlighting use of the FILE_ID and RESOURCE_KEY components within the constructed download URL: You are now ready to upload the Google Drive file to your Overleaf project.Uploading the Google Drive file into an Overleaf projectTo use the download URL, select Overleaf’s file upload feature and choose From External URL: Paste in the download URL, give the file a name and select Create to add (upload) your Google Drive file to an Overleaf project.

One of the main features of Overleaf is the ability to share projects and collaborate on them with other users. In Overleaf there are two options to share a project with collaborators: inviting those collaborators via email, or sharing an access link to the project, also known as “link sharing.”Link sharing“Link sharing” allows a project owner to share their projects via different types of link:View Link: Anyone with a view link can access and read the associated Overleaf project.Edit Link: Anyone with an edit link is allowed to edit the associated Overleaf project—if they already have an Overleaf account; otherwise, they'll need to create an account first. If the number of editors already in the project has reached the allowed limit, any user joining the project with an edit link will join with view-only permissions.To access link sharing:Click on the Share button at the top right corner of the project:Click Turn on link sharing:The shareable edit and view URLs will be displayed:To let someone access the project, simply send them the appropriate URL. Note that users must have an Overleaf account to edit a link-shared project.Inviting collaborators via emailIf you know the email address of your collaborators you can invite them to the project via email. To share a project with someone:Click on the Share button at the top right corner of the project:Enter the email address of the user you would like to share the project with:Choose whether you would like the collaborator to have view only access, or whether they will be allowed to edit the project.Click Invite.Your collaborator will now receive an email inviting them to join the project. Once they have logged into their account, they will be able to accept the invite and collaborate on the project. The Share Project window will update to show that they have accepted the request and joined the project. If they do not receive an email:Make sure the email address you are using is correct.Try resending the email by clicking Resend in the Share Project window.Check the spam folder of the email address as sometimes emails can end up

Compiler will look for the file in the same folder as the code where the image is included. The path to the folder is relative by default, if there is no initial directory specified, for instance %Path relative to the .tex file containing the \includegraphics command\graphicspath{ {images/} }This is a typically straightforward way to reach the graphics folder within a file tree, but can leads to complications when .tex files within folders are included in the main .tex file. Then, the compiler may end up looking for the images folder in the wrong place. Thus, it is best practice to specify the graphics path to be relative to the main .tex file, denoting the main .tex file directory as ./ , for instance: %Path relative to the main .tex file \graphicspath{ {./images/} }as in the introduction.The path can also be absolute, if the exact location of the file on your system is specified. For example, if you were working on a local LaTeX installation on your own computer: %Path in Windows format:\graphicspath{ {c:/user/images/} }%Path in Unix-like (Linux, Mac OS) format\graphicspath{ {/home/user/images/} }Notice that this command requires a trailing slash / and that the path is in between double braces.You can also set multiple paths if the images are saved in more than one folder. For instance, if there are two folders named images1 and images2, use the command\graphicspath{ {./images1/}{./images2/} } Open an images example in OverleafChanging the image size and rotating the pictureIf we want to further specify how LaTeX should include our image in the document (length, height, etc), we can pass those settings in the following format:\begin{document}Overleaf is a great professional tool to edit online documents, share and backup your \LaTeX{} projects. Also offers a rather large help documentation.\includegraphics[scale=1.5]{overleaf-logo}The command \includegraphics[scale=1.5]{overleaf-logo} will include the image overleaf-logo in the document, the extra parameter scale=1.5 will do exactly that, scale the image 1.5 of its real size.You can also scale the image to a some specific width and height.\begin{document}Overleaf is a great professional tool to edit online documents, share and backup your \LaTeX{} projects. Also offers a rather large help documentation.\includegraphics[width=5cm, height=4cm]{overleaf-logo}As you probably have guessed, the parameters inside the brackets [width=3cm, height=4cm] define the width and the height of the picture. You can use different units for these parameters. If only the width parameter is passed, the height will be scaled to keep the aspect ratio.The length units can

IntroductionImage files, or other file resources, located in your Google Drive account can be uploaded into your Overleaf projects using the From External URL feature—provided those Google Drive files have file-sharing enabled. In addition, you will need to create a suitable URL (direct download link) which can be used to add each Google Drive file to your Overleaf projects: this article explains how to do that. Once uploaded from Google Drive, the corresponding Overleaf project file(s) can be refreshed at any time to resync them with the latest version stored in Google Drive—the video below demonstrates how to do that.Notes and caveats on changes to Google-based servicesFile-hosting services, such as Google Drive, can, at any time, make changes to their services; in particular, modifying the structure of link-sharing URLs. For example, in 2021 Google announced a Google Drive security update which added the resourcekey parameter to their file-sharing URLs. However, due to the nature of this update it seems that not all users (or all their files) will be immediately affected by this change: some Google Drive users will see the resourcekey parameter, others might not. Due to such unpredictable changes, it’s impractical for Overleaf to provide consistently up-to-date and fully documented URL-conversion processes for Google Drive or similar services—such guidance could quickly become out-of-date and thus misleading. However, in this page we provide one way to convert Google Drive file-sharing URLs containing the resourcekey parameter to a direct download URL you can use with Overleaf. Our team has tested this procedure and it worked for us but we cannot guarantee it be relevant to, or work for, everyone. In case of difficulty, readers should, in the first instance, try to find and consult the most current documentation provided by the hosting service(s) they use, or seek out up-to-date articles or YouTube videos.Sharing a file in Google DriveStart by identifying a file stored in Google Drive that you want to upload into your Overleaf project:Next, you need to share that file, to make it accessible outside of Google Drive. The following screenshot, taken on a desktop PC, shows how to access the file-sharing and file-link options within Google Drive:After you select the option to share the file, a Share with people and groups dialog box appears (see below). From here you can choose to share that file with particular individuals/groups or make it available to anyone who has the appropriate Google Drive link. Here, we’ll share the file with anyone who has the Google Drive link by changing the link-sharing setting from Restricted to Anyone with the link, as shown in the following screenshot taken from a desktop device (Windows laptop):Obtain a Google Drive link to your shared fileAfter selecting the preferred link-sharing option, we need to obtain a copy of the Google Drive link (URL) to our shared file. There are several ways to do this:choose Copy link from the dialog box above (if still visible on your screen), orright-click on the file and choose Get link (see screenshot
