Try adding your Google drive to Windows Index
If that doesn't work, add your Google drive to a Library. You can create a new Library or add the folder to an existing Library
Adding a location to a Library automatically adds that location to the index.
You do not need to add Google Drive to your Index. It actually slows down finding and loading photos. The arrows are because of your high resolution, not indexing.
There are keyboard shortcuts to go through photos. Left and Right arrows have always been the change to next or previous picture. 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Photo Viewer If you can assign a mouse setting to scroll left or right, that can help. I use the Logitech M570 Trackball and it comes with two extra buttons that can be reassigned for picture scrolling.
The arrows show on the non-Google drive folder - how could high resolution affect only the Google drive folder?
Indexing can slow down searching IF the index is huge (indexing all files on C: or everything on the computer).
Mucci,
Please check your Google Drive folder security settings

Also, is there an Album for Google drive in the App?
