This feature is now standard available in Google slides for both images and shapes.

All you need to do is Right-click on the object > format options > drop shadow.

Google Slides has caught up and you can now add drop shadow to images and shapes from the format menu:

Found a hack for this...

1) Copy the image from google sheets and paste to a doc in Keynote

2) add the required image shadow / borders / effects

3) Copy this new Keynote image and past back into Google Sheets

You're not able to directly add drop shadows for images in Google Slides.

The drop shadow was made in a different slide making program like PowerPoint and the file was uploaded to the Drive. The user then opened the PowerPoint file with Slides and the shadow is stilled applied like it would be in PowerPoint.

One work around so you can use the effect on other images is to use the "Paint format" button to copy the effect. Select the image with the shadow, click the "Paint format" button, then click another image you want the shadow on.

Another work around is to copy the image and "replace image", which will switch out the photo but keep the shadow.
