I'm on Mac. Everything happened as per the download instructions. Though when I tried it again I realised that the file had been given a .txt extension. I deleted the additional extension and when I dragged and dropped I was prompted to save and refresh, which I did. The plugin is now in the plugin tab - perfect.
I created an image using a 'shareable link' but I just get a '?' icon instead of my image. I will see if I can work this out. Thank you for all of your help!
