Hi singhal14,

Based on test, the url which shared from google drive is not supported.
Currently, power bi only support the url which can direct locate to image file.

For example:
Not support: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9uS6LkvQIB3czMtMVJxa29URzA
Support: https://camo.mybb.com/e01de90be6012adc1b1701dba899491a9348ae79/687474703a2f2f7777772e6a71756572797363726970742e6e65742f696d616765732f53696d706c6573742d526573706f6e736976652d6a51756572792d496d6167652d4c69676874626f782d506c7567696e2d73696d706c652d6c69676874626f782e6a7067
