Sometimes this doesn't work unfortunately . I have tired this. I've actually had to put into dropbox and then use dropbox's link creator on their affiliated site to get to appear on my steemit account.
I am still trying to get my dtube and steemit profile pictures to link. My profile pic shows up on my steemit account, but not on my dtube account. I'm still having problems. lol
