When it comes to importing files from storage providers you use, for instance, Google Photos, things may get tricky, as there's no direct way to select the images/videos that reside in Google Photos from your local space on a PC or Mac.
Google Photos doesn't have a desktop version of an application to allow you to upload files to Pics.io from it.
However, there are workarounds found on the web that may help you ease this process.
