Image insertion in signature

Solved

Hello,

I want to create a signature on my Gmail account by "inserting an image."

Problem: when I click on "insert an image" (landscape icon), I only have access to a window that offers "Web Address (URL)," whereas it should also include: "My Drive" and "Upload."

Since I want to place one of my files in the signature, the "Web Address (URL)" option is useless to me (I would need the "Upload" option, and I'm stuck).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Configuration: Windows 7 64 bits - Chrome (default) - IE - Firefox - CPU 3.30 GHz - RAM 4.00 Go - DD 1 T

Hello,

normally, in the settings to integrate your signature, you have this window that appears: https://i.imgur.com/guCFuHY.png

Did you click on the image icon and not the link?

Thank you, Kaayo, for your response.

I have clicked on the icon and the window only contains "Web Address (URL)

Best regards

It's really weird, are you on a phone? On a computer? What language have you set? Are you on this page and signature section? https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/&ss=1&scc=1<mpl=default<mplcache=2&emr=1&osid=1#settings/general

Otherwise, here’s the solution for the signature:

1) Go to this site: https://vgy.me/
2) Click on the blue icon and select your image.
3) On the right side of the page, you have 2 blocks, one "One-time delete key" and the other "Share this Image". In the second block, copy the first link (do not close the tab).
4) Go to Gmail in your signature settings, paste the link and save.
5) Go back to the other site, in the first block, copy the link and paste it in your browser and click on "Yes" (green button).

It was enough for me to click on the first HTTPS link in your response to directly access the page with the three options, including the one to upload a file from my computer. This allowed me to create my signature.

Now, when I click on the landscape icon, I once again have access to the page with the three options...

I don't really know what happened, but your response unlocked the system.

Thank you again for your help - Have a great weekend.

I had the same problem, and by clicking on Kaayoo's link, the "my drive" tab and "upload a photo" appeared! Thanks for the help :)
