The full story<\/h2>\n

Like most online publications, The Verge<\/em> uses a CMS (content management system) to upload its content to the web. This particular CMS demands that you upload any images you want to use separately from the text \u2014 which usually presents no problems. But recently, a writer submitted an otherwise fine story in which they had included the images within the text. The writer had gone on vacation, so I couldn\u2019t ask them to send the images separately \u2014 and there didn\u2019t seem to be an obvious way to download the pictures so I could pop them into the CMS.<\/p>\n

After doing some research, I discovered there are several ways that you can<\/em> download an image from a Google Doc (short of using a third-party app). None of them are obvious, but none are really difficult, either. Here they are.<\/p>\n
