Apple generally does this transparently and automatically when exporting photos. If you’re not getting that behavior then you could have it off in settings, it could be your workflow, or it could be a Google Drive bug/limitation. What exactly do you mean by “transfer a photo on my iphone via google drive”? Something like open the Apple Photos app, hit share, select Google Drive, save it somewhere there, go to the Google Drive app, and copy a link?
