Since Walter has pointed you to a question I asked a couple times now, I'll chime in that I abandoned my attempts to do this in Google Drive.
A question for you - does it have to be google drive? If not, I'd suggest trying to do this in Dropbox first. It works, and you can be up and running with minimal effort on your part. There are programs available on the file exchange for both uploading and downloading files from Dropbox.
I have gotten that to work.

Two changes are required to download from a google drive.
1) Set the privilege to Anyone with the link for the file using the triple dots
2) Given a filename of below format: tweak- file/d to uc?export=download&id= while removing /view?usp=sharing
if resourcekey=RESOURCE_KEY exists then also include at the end per Overleaf
Works for urlwrite and imread
urlwrite('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1v3GsGgP3p905wzdvUqypL_-djYmxiyzK','2.png');
img=imread('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1v3GsGgP3p905wzdvUqypL_-djYmxiyzK','png')
img2=imread('https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1v3GsGgP3p905wzdvUqypL_-djYmxiyzK');
