Ability to trace an image from an article to its source folder in Drive
under review

It's currently very difficult to locate an image in Drive when you are starting with an Article open in the Editor. You have to carefully note the image name and then go searching in Drive for that specific image name. And this action alone makes you lose your focus on the article itself, because you must switch your focus to the Drive section of the portal. This loss of focus on the article is _especially_ bad when you had to temporarily fork the article just to view the image name. Now that you've lost focus on the article, it's easy to forget to undo the fork.
So now you're in Drive, you've searched for the exact image name, and you see a results list. But the single file in the results list does NOT show it's location in the Drive folder hierarchy! There is NO possible way to learn where exactly that file sits in your Drive hierarchy!
User expectations and use cases:
Sometimes you want to find the location of an image so that you can review it in the context of all its sibling images. Are any of them stale and need removed or replaced? Maybe you want to bulk download a bunch of closely-related images to re-use in a lesson module in a training LMS?
It should be an easy task to jump right from an image's location in an _article_ to that image's location (folder) in Drive.

This feature would be very helpful as we have thousands of images.

The basic requirement here is
It should be an easy task to jump right from an image's location in an _article_ to that image's location (folder) in Drive.
I think we can easily fix this problem by enhancing our article Link analytics feature, we just need to add a link to the corresponding folder in Drive.
In a similar way, we have a dependency viewer for images in the drive where there is already a link to the original article. a
