Photos.app > File > Import... and navigate to the desired Google Drive folder. If that doesn't work straight from Google Drive, first copy the images to some Finder folder (preferably to some non-iCloud Drive folder so you don't copy them over a slow Internet link from cloud to cloud). p.s. Google Photos is a different matter.
