Scenario

You are using Client-Side signatures, and your signature uses bitmap rendering, custom fonts, and/or embedded images from Google Drive. 

Resolution

You must enable sharing settings in Google Drive to enable your content. 

NOTE: If you use Client-Side signatures without enabling sharing settings, you must use linked images instead of embedded images. This will also restrict you from using custom fonts, background images or rendering any elements as a bitmap.

To set up Google drive permissions:

  1. Sign in to the Google Admin console using your Administrator credentials.
     
  2. From the Admin console home page, select Apps > Google Workspace > Drive and Docs.
     
  3. Select Sharing settings.
     
  4. Under Sharing outside of [your organization], select ON - Files owned by users or shared drives in [your organization] can be shared outside of [your organization].
     
  5. Ensure the Allow users or shared drives in [your organization] to share items with people outside [your organization] who aren't using Google checkbox is selected.
     
  6. Select the When sharing outside of [your organization] is allowed, users in [your organization] can make files and published web content visible to anyone with the link checkbox.
