Somewhat loathe to comment on this as: it is MACOS / it is Amazon Cloud and I do not have either 
I think Ofnuts is correct, the file is 'stuck' on Amazon.
In theory Gimp File -> Open Location will take an URL and open it. This has not worked (various linux versions) for many years. Give it a try though. Strangely, using a flatpak Gimp 2.99.12, it does work and opens images straight from the internet.
Apart from the obvious and downloading to a local folder, you might get there using an intermediary program. This using LibreOffice to open the image from (my) cloud storage and then sending to Gimp. 40 seconds https://i.imgur.com/6PaD3CM.mp4
...but then you are only able to save / export locally anyway, somewhat redundant.
