IANAL, but my understanding is HIPAA applies to covered entities, i.e. medical professionals.
Google can use the defense that somewhere in the TOS it probably says you agree to share everything with them when it goes to cloud storage.
HIPAA doesn't prohibit people from sharing info about themselves (even accidentally). Though it does probibits your doctor from putting photos like this near Google anything.
