Why does photo gallery crash when I try to upload files to my drive?

[AC Question]

I'm trying to upload images from my phone to my laptop using google drive to do it. I lost my USB cable, and my laptop only accepts normal SD cards while my phone uses a micro-SD, so I can only do it through drive. It worked for a little while, but now every time I try to use it, it crashes my gallery and sends me back into the camera. The only thing I think would cause this is either low memory in my phone or drive so I tried deleting apps from my phone and images from drive and it still doesn't work. Any help at this point would be appreciated.

What kind of phone? Can't you just use the same cable you use for charging to connect to the computer? Do you know anyone that owns a phone that might also own a USB cable you can borrow?
