I have a series of notebooks with many pictures embedded in them, and they are placed in assets/folder under the same path of google drive. But when I use the following code to copy the image to files and then use ![]() to call in the markdown cell, but I find that the image cannot be displayed. 

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/gdrive')
! cp -r 'gdrive/My Drive/<notebook-path>/assets/' .

Thanks for the feature request!

For the time being, the best solution is render the image in an output cell using ipython.display.image, or try copying the image onto your clipboard and you can paste the image into a markdown cell.

None of those solutions work anymore. I don't understand why a sharable link from Google Drive can't be displayed in markdown but links from other sources can.
