How to transfer Google Photos from an e-mail to my wifes I-pad, I cloud photo file.
Help.
Our granddaughter sent my wife an e-mail with 15 photos from Google Drive. They are wedding photographs. My wife would like to have them easily viewable on her I-pad to show her friends. I can't find anything on the internet telling how to transfer the Google Drive photos to Apple photos.
Can anyone help?
Not an Apple person but aren't .jpeg photos universal, Windows or Apple? I just googled "download photos from Google Drive" and came up with a half dozen 2-3 step ways. Download and take a look.

Google Photos lets you "Share" photos, either with a link or by email. Click on the share symbol, and you will be given choices. Then you can send the images to the iPad.

If you are not particularly computer savvy a simple way is to open the email on the iPad ( go to google.com if you don’t normally use email on the tablet) then click on the icon for sending/saving ( it looks like a box with an arrow on top) one of the options is “save photo” that will put the picture in her album on the tablet

If the email points to a Google drive location, then go to Google drive and open the photos one at a time. When each photo is open on screen, just hold your finger on the image until the “save” box appears. Select save, and the photo will be added to your IPad photo stream. Alternately, if you can view multiple photos as part of the email, select one, and you’ll have the option to save all, preventing you from having to do them one at a time.
The question specifically asked about an I-Pad. But if you have Windows 10 computer, Android Phone, and use Google products such as Chrome, you have Google Photos on both your devices. On your computer, open Google Drive and transfer the images to your Google Photos. You could then copy them to your hard drive for permanent backup and storage.
Now here's the fun part. Wait a little while for the images to scurry up to the cloud, then back down to your Google Photos on your Android. Open Google Photos and there they are.
Can't find Google Photos icon? On your PC, they're in the six dots. On your Droid, there'll be a Google cube. click on it and Google Photos will be there.
If the photos came to your phone or computer forward the mail to your wife. Then all she has to do is open the email and save the photos. You should add Dropbox to each of your family's devices, you, your wife, your daughter and anyone else you share with. Then you can send boatloads of files from anyone to anyone...

Thanks to all who responded to my wifes problem of moving the photos.
It seems that none of the suggested solutions worked and she tried them all.
What we ended up doing was for her to send me the e-mail with the photos attached to my Mac. When I opened each photo in Google drive it showed a symbol that allowed me to move the photos to my Google drive account. Why that symbol didn't show up on her I-pad is what seems to be the main problem. Anyway, after moving all 15 photos to my google account I was able to 'share' the photos to an e-mail which I sent to her I-pad and she was then able to put them into her I photo account.
It was a convoluted way of getting around the fact that her I-pad didn't show the symbol for Google photos when each photo was opened. This would have allowed sharing when each photo was opened.
We had to transfer the photos to my Mac and then I sent them back to her I-pad in an e-mail.
There must be some better way but we couldn't find it.
Thanks again to all who sent suggestions.
Use iCloud and Photos program with your Mac and synch the photos to iCloud, then synch her iPad to the same iCloud user, if this is feasible. Of course all photos will then get downloaded to the iPad though.
Or assuming you have the photos is iCloud she should be able to browse to the iCloud site with her iPad's browser and see / select photos
