Strangely enough to I have been having similar issues using Google Chrome and a Google Android device, I could view all the photos on my phone and certain members photos were missing on my pc,
then one evening, I realised when trying to view Age restricted YouTube reviews of dolls, it wouldn't let me on my pc, I had already submitted my driver's license on my phone, and could watch them on that, I then noticed I had two Google accounts, one in my Real name and the other been the other me
when I logged into Google on the pc in the same account that is on my phone it let me view the photos.
Possibly no use at all, but someone with tech knowledge might understand.
