That’s a very cool #plugin! I would love to see a Google Drive version of this. :slight_smile:

When you select an image file from OneDrive to be pasted in the post, does it paste the actual source image link (thus, displaying the full image) or does it just paste a OneDrive link to the image file?

The same question also applies to videos.
