I use EXternal Player = MPC-BE. I cannot play the file on ggdrive addon using MPC, it only uses default Kodi player. Please help me. Here is my file:

MPC-BE is looking for a media file with a known extension to load. I think you would have to download the target to a folder, then pipe it to one of the media players (but if it's already in a folder, then Kodi direct will handle it). If you "stream" a video from any external source, you are downloading it. VLC can play URL Google Drive files directly but Kodi only passes a library listing name and path to VLC, if that path is full with login and URL, then it might be possible. This is really something that the VLC forums would be better able to handle.

Could you please next time insert a more to-the-point and appropriate topic title for your forum thread?
Crying for help like a 4-yr old is really not helpful towards others.
