Google Drive Storing images - bad or good way

Using google drive for storing images(Instead of the usual way ftp, blobs..) for a website with 10,000 users per day is it a good or bad way?

Considering API application requests per day and google free account with 15 GB space.

If you are seriously looking at serving images to anonymous users on a website, you should consider proper storage designed for this type of use case, such as Google Cloud Storage or AWS S3.

Google Drive is designed for "your content" and sharing between people you know. Using it for a general website will likely trip up automatic abuse filters at scale and will not lead to a good time.
