Yes you can, but it wouldn't be that simple. From my understaning you got a new hdd and want to store your photos on it to accses them from your chromebook. To do this you need a computer that can be on at all times that you would be accsesing the photos, and there is more steps after that but it's been a while since I've done this and I'd have to do some research.

Google photos: a cloud based service provided by Google.

NAS: network attached storage.

 

You cannot make a "Nas" with "Google photos". What you can do is maybe create a nextcloud server on the Chromebook (no clue if you actually can) and use the said disk as storage device. Other solutions include actually setting up a Nas and a VPN server.

If you can do it on linux you can do it on a chrome book(it might be slow though).

it's not a picture.  If you post a link to Youtube, Reddit, or several other destinations, it embeds the media in your post.
