Laravel & Google Drive Storage
Demo project with Laravel 8.X
Look at the commit history to see each of the steps I have taken to set this up.
Set up this demo project locally
git clone [email protected]:erikn69/laravel-google-drive-demo.git
git checkout 8.x
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
I took care of this:
This will also install only one additional package that is not included by Laravel out of the box:
"masbug/flysystem-google-drive-ext":"^1.0"
I have included GoogleDriveServiceProvider which I have added to the providers array in config/app.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'),
],
// ...
],
Create your Google Drive API keys
Detailed information on how to obtain your API ID, secret and refresh token:
Update .env file
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_CLOUD=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
Using multiple Google Drive accounts
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_CLOUD 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')
