I do Liz. My pictures are already online on the Google photo website. I don’t seem to be able to upload them again in my gallery.

You need download the pictures to tour computer. An then, you can upload them to your Library.

Are you trying to copy/paste the ‘sharable link’? I do not believe that is the correct link. I found the instructions below in a forums search.
“This is what I just tried and it worked for me on my PC.
1. Open the image in Google Photo so its in the viewing pane (so not the thumbnail).
2. Right click on the image
3. Select in the pop up “copy image location”That will give you the URL that starts with “https://lh3.googleusercontent.com” which is the one that WordPress actually recognizes as an image.”

Liz, I think I found the problem thanks to your link. My google albums are not public, that’s why I don’t have the proper url that WP recognises.
Thank you again for your help! -
