iPad/Google Pixel 9Pro/Logitech G Cloud/Xbox Series...

Long time Apple user here. Prior to my first iPhone I was really into Android. Rooting and Roms and launchers, etc. I enjoyed the forums and communities built around customizing these devices more than anything. But then I met my first iPhone. The iPhone 4. The industrial look and feel of its form factor and the material... I was sold. Fast forward and seeing the Pixel 9Pro left me with the same "have to have it" feeling as that first iPhone. And I do truly love everything about Android. I run Smart launcher which is a hobby all by itself and Google has come a very long way in terms of fit and finish. But, I also run a small business. Nothing can replace the iPad and ProCreate when it comes to my needs for said business.

I absolutely love being organized. I also absolutely hate redundancy. So have Chrome installed on my iPad instead of simply signing into my Google account in Safari isn't something I want to do. But, I also really love how I have my Google Photos all setup with individual galleries and archives. I use Docs quite often as well as Drive.

All that being said... Can these devices play nice together?

How do I set Google.com as my start page on Safari? Can I have my iPad gallery synced up with my Google photos?
Can I have all my drive/docs files populate in the iPads files?

I'd rather not start installing Google apps. Because Apple definitely has a lot of offer and I'd like to have the fill iPad experience.. while having all my Google data. Thanks in advance
