Look at the commit history to see each of the steps I have taken to set this up.
git clone [email protected]:erikn69/laravel-google-drive-demo.git
git checkout 11.x
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
This will also install only one additional package that is not included by Laravel out of the box:
"masbug/flysystem-google-drive-ext":"^2.0"
I have included GoogleDriveServiceProvider which I have added to the providers array in bootstrap/providers.php, and added a google disk in config/filesystems.php:
'disks' => [
// ...
'google' => [
'driver' => 'google',
'clientId' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID'),
'clientSecret' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET'),
'refreshToken' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN'),
'folder' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER'),
// 'teamDriveId' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_TEAM_DRIVE_ID'),
],
// ...
],Detailed information on how to obtain your API ID, secret and refresh token:
Add the keys you created to your .env file and set google as your default cloud storage. You can copy the .env.example file and fill in the blanks.
FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=google
GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID=xxx.apps.googleusercontent.com
GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx
GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN=xxx
GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER=folder_name
#GOOGLE_DRIVE_TEAM_DRIVE_ID=xxx
If you want to use multiple Google Drive accounts in a single Laravel app, you need to get the API keys for each one as described above and store them separately in your .env file:
MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID=xxx.apps.googleusercontent.com
MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx
MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN=xxx
MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER=
BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID=xxx.apps.googleusercontent.com
BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx
BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN=xxx
BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER=
Then you should add a disk in config/filesystems.php for each account using the google driver and the account specific keys:
'main_google' => [
'driver' => 'google',
'clientId' => env('MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID'),
'clientSecret' => env('MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET'),
'refreshToken' => env('MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN'),
'folder' => env('MAIN_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER'),
],
'backup_google' => [
'driver' => 'google',
'clientId' => env('BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID'),
'clientSecret' => env('BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET'),
'refreshToken' => env('BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN'),
'folder' => env('BACKUP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER'),
],Now you can access the drives like so:
$mainDisk = Storage::disk('main_google');
$backupDisk = Storage::disk('backup_google');Keep in mind that there can only be one default cloud storage drive, defined by FILESYSTEM_DRIVER in your .env (or config) file. If you set it to main_google, that will be the cloud drive:
Storage::cloud(); // refers to Storage::disk('main_google')| Route | Description |

| /put-existing | Puts an existing file to Google Drive |
| /list-files | Lists all files in Google Drive (root directory, not recursive by default) |
| /list-folder-contents | List all files in a specific folder(Test Dir) |
