Public bug reported:

An image uploaded to Google Drive cannot be displayed directly on a page
because the way Google's URLs are constructed. If you wanted to display
an image in a text box or journal post or forum post etc., you'd need to
change the Google URL.

See http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/02/permalinks-for-google-
drive-images.html

This could probably be achieved by writing a filter in Mahara so that
users could just take the Google image URL as it is and paste that and
Mahara transforms it into the one required to actually display it.

The same should be checked if it could be made to work for videos.
