<p>Thanks for all the answers. </p>
<p>I made a Google cloud bucket and uploaded my files to that. It is
(surprisingly🙂) stable and fast ! The only downside is that it
takes a long time the first time you open the layer, because QGIS
will read the entire layer to ascertain the number of objects.
When you have a layer with ca. 6.000.000 objects it takes a looong
time. But opening the project after that is snappy. <br>

static file hosting (it used to, but stopped around 2015). So
you cannot use it to get a file URL that can be directly used to
get the file contents. You'll need to host the file on a static
file server or a cloud bucket (Google Cloud Storage or AWS s3)<br>

I'm no expert on Google Drive but it looks like you're using
the URL<br>
for the friendly "view this file" page, rather than the URL
that<br>
contains the raw file content itself.<br>
<br>
You'll probably have to try to download the file and grab the
download<br>
URL it gives you there and use that instead.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Adam.<br>
