I found a solution.
Use a thumbnail to load the image into fancyGallery from the google drive link.
example:
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id= +id of your image link.
You can also specify the size of the thumbnail:
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id= +id of your image link+&sz=w640.
For me this link works fine:
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1DlTneR_41y-MNEuzUuqqaR5H0pXy0Sb0&sz=w640
