create external link process vs import (from url)

  • Hey

    Kind of a question but I might know the answer. When I want to add external image via URL to my media library is the final result IMPORT only? Because that’s what is happening on my local WP install.

    this is the description on WordPress:
    “Import files from or create external links from third-party services into WordPress Media Library (Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive and any other external file from URL).”

    I understand now that perhaps the plugin can only use external links from the services like Dropbox or Google Drive but that wasn’t clear from reading the description.

    It seems that “external file from URL” can only import and not be displayed from remote. Which is too bad because I can also insert images from my remote site just using html img tag.

    Please advise. Thank you.
