This article discusses adding a Tile Layer url to your portal, then accessing the portal item via ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap:

Here's some of the Google url's the article mentions:

Google Mapshttps://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=r&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}
Google Satellitehttp://www.google.cn/maps/vt?lyrs=s@189&gl=cn&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}
Google Satellite Hybridhttps://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}
Google Terrainhttps://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=p&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}
Google Roadshttps://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=h&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}

Is this safe to use for an organization?

Google Satellitehttp://www.google.cn/maps/vt?lyrs=s@189&gl=cn&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}

ESRI insists that URLs be from secure (https) websites. Is there an https link to use the Google Satellite images?

Here is the list with the URLs, I have used them and so far they are working normally.

 

Services:

Google Roads Only
https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=h&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}

Google Standard Roadmap
https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}

Google Terrain
https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=p&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}

You can use the Google Satellite url with https.

Hi

Google Maps API has usage policies that limit the number of requests you can make within a certain period of time. These policies vary depending on the type of API you're using (e.g., Maps JavaScript API, Maps Static API, etc.). If you make a very large number of requests, you may reach the limits of free usage and need to pay for a premium plan to access more requests.

Would this apply to this case?

Does anyone have a link to an add-in for ArcGIS Pro 3x for a tool that will open Google Maps when you click on a location in your Pro map window?

Hello, I am trying to add google's photorealistic 3d tiles to Scene, using ArcGIS Pro 3.30.

Photorealistic 3D Tiles  |  Google Maps Tile API  |  Google for Developers

This is the javascript api call - 

https://tile.googleapis.com/v1/3dtiles/root.json?key=[YOUR API KEY]

Is this tileset supported? Is there a workaround to create a layer using ArcPy (or something else)?

@VenessaMcCracken  - right click on your map (see below) - then go to google maps and paste the result in the search.
