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/e01de90be6012adc1b1701dba899491a9348ae79/687474703a2f2f7777772e6a7175657279736...

This very short Youtube video solved the problem you've encountered. I had the same problem as you did and use the solution provided by this video and it works very well. Try it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1joksnUW04
