Hi,  
I am currently using this [fork of `dawn` theme](https://github.com/QubitQuants/dawn_drk) (on Ghost v5.24.2 running on Mac OS v12.6.1) which contained the `Table of Contents` as I could not [find the ToC in the latest version of the official dawn theme](https://forum.ghost.org/t/permanent-table-of-contents-in-dawn-theme/18877/3). In my fork I added `card_assets": true,` in the `config` field in `package.json` of my custom dawn theme folder (as mentioned in [this forum post](https://forum.ghost.org/t/embedded-links-displaying-incorrectly-since-upgrade-to-5-0/30306/4) ) and all errors/warnings are fixed now.

However, when I upload a featured image for a post, from my local HDD it works in the `localhost:2368` preview but it appears broken when I generate the static `index.html` file to publish to Github Pages (see attachment below). If I use any internet image from `UnSplash` it seems to be working fine (eg: `Alignment` Thumbnail is coming from `UnSplash` ). So I would like to move to Google Drive to host all my images, as there doesnt seem to be a working fix for this broken featured images.

Currently, I am only able to upload this HTTP Google Drive image link, my manually hacking the statically generated `index.html` file of the localhost blog site. How can I upload [my image URL from Google Drive](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/q6Yi6l8Tw79naLvnjNQAbxcxjvfHbEpmwox8CsC1NRyFQmhXF22XFIVI5VAhyM89VL4=w2400) (generated from [this tutorial](https://www.labnol.org/embed/google/drive/) ) for my Feature Image in the post, just like I am able to upload/use images from `UnSplash`?

This is a non-typical setup and we’d likely need more to go on.

I can see that some kind of javascript lazy loading is being used, which is why the images aren’t loading.
