Yes you can do this


Go to your google drive site
login
Pick your folder
Click share button at top
Look for "Who Has Access" section
Look for "change"
Give access to
    Public on the web - Anyone on the Internet can find and view

satya - Mon Dec 17 2012 08:42:56 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)

Use the link at the top of that section to share

Here is an example of one such folder

The way you share an image seem to change with each release :(

Here is a way to place the image from google drive on your web page or a blog

It is titled: Host webpages with Drive

satya - 1/8/2015, 3:32:01 PM

The structure of the url on the hosted page should be


http://www.googledrive.com/host/[doc id]

satya - 1/8/2015, 3:33:19 PM

The id can be found in the share URL


https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_0Nhmj8ghVyaXZLZkFySmJvM0U/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/[id]/view?usp=sharing

satya - 1/8/2015, 3:39:34 PM

//where xx-xxxx... is the folder id

satya - 1/8/2015, 3:42:20 PM

Here is an example image and its corresponding URL

http://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B_0Nhmj8ghVyMFlSSmhQWGhabkU

satya - 4/27/2017, 5:01:01 PM

The way I did this correctly as of now (2017) is


Visit Google drive on web
Make sure the folder is public
Right click on the file
Get the share link
Replace /open with /uc in the URL
Replace https with http (I was told)

satya - 4/27/2017, 5:02:33 PM

Format of the URL as of 2017

http://drive.google.com/uc?id=[file-id]

Here are some instructions on sharing a google photo publicly

satya - 4/27/2018, 5:51:48 PM

Yes that seem to work from photos

See album

Make album public

See photo

Share photo

Get the link

See the link in browser

//key here

click on the image again

right-click and copy the image address

the address should have "...googleusercontent"

Use that link in your blog

satya - 4/27/2018, 5:53:40 PM

Here are some photos I have used this way

satya - 4/27/2018, 5:54:15 PM

Here is another example of sharing a photo

satya - 4/27/2018, 6:02:49 PM

The following seem to work as well

See album

Make album public

See photo

Right-click and copy image address

This address seem to reflect the "...googleusercontent" as well and hence seem to work.
