Thanks for all the answers.
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.

Google Drive doesn't allow 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)

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