Adding Images to Gmail Signature from Drive through the web URL

In my blog on  Adding Image Hyperlinks in Gmail signature , I had discussed ways to insert an image to your Gmail signature from your computer or via a web URL. Soon thereafter, I became aware of an issue where images were inserted into the Gmail signature from Google Drive via web URL. To better explain, here are the steps: An image in Google Drive is set to " Anyone with the link " and the sharing URL copied.

If on the other hand, you already have a signature created, you will find that included in the newly designed Signature section.
