Here's a solution
you have to use google photos for it but that part shouldn't be difficult to figure out
drive evidently doesn't work anyway though i swear thats what i used before. ANyway

once you have the image in your photos, look up "google photos" just normally and then "your photos" should come up
click the one you want, as if you just uploaded it it should be there, and then "open image in new tab" and go from there
