Besides the plain link, every share offers ready-made embed snippets for the places links usually end up in a decorated form: HTML for websites, BBCode for forums, and Markdown for READMEs, issues and docs.
Where to find them
The Embed panel comes in two versions.
Always open, with five tabs — on the home page upload success screen, and in the upload window when you uploaded several files at once without an account. The tabs are Link · BBCode · Forum (image + link) · HTML · Markdown. With several files, each file gets its own line, so you can copy the whole batch in one go.
- The Link tab gives the bare link(s), with nothing added.
- The BBCode tab gives a text forum link; the Forum (image + link) tab gives a clickable image for image files (in BBCode).
Collapsed, with three formats (BBCode · HTML · MD) — expand it:
- in the share dialog of any file in your Drive;
- on the share page itself, in its share dialog;
- in the upload window, when you uploaded a single file without an account.
Pick the dialect with the tabs and copy with one click.
Images get thumbnails, everything else gets a link
- Image shares produce a clickable-thumbnail snippet: the image shows inline where you paste it, and clicking leads to the share page.
- Video, audio and documents produce link-only snippets — tidy, labelled links without a preview image.
- Folder shares and password-protected shares are always link-only, deliberately: a thumbnail would not be accessible to strangers anyway.
Every snippet except the Link tab also ends with a short credit link to the FileMv home page ("image upload" or "file sharing"). It does not touch the share link or the image; if you don't want it, simply delete it from the pasted code.
One quirk worth knowing: right after an upload, an image snippet may briefly render without its thumbnail while the preview image is being generated. It fixes itself — no need to re-copy.
The snippet follows the share's rules
An embed is just a dressed-up share link, so everything that governs the link governs the embed: a password still gates it, an expiry or revocation still kills it — wherever the snippet was pasted.
