Step 1: Install Laravel Project

First, you need to download the laravel fresh setup. Use this command then download laravel project setup :

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

After successfully install laravel 8 Application, Go to your project .env file and set up database credential and move next step :

Step 3 : Install spatie/laravel-backup

In this step, we need to install Install spatie/laravel-backup laravel package in our application. so let's open terminal and run bellow command:

composer require spatie/laravel-backup

Successfully install package then execute the following command on terminal to publish this installed package:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Backup\BackupServiceProvider"

It will publish the configuration file in config/backup.php. Now, configure your backup according to your requirement.

Now, you need to add google in the disk option in the config/backup.php.

config/backup.php

'backup' => [

'name' => '',

],

'disks' => [

'google',

'local',

],

Step 4 : Setup Google Drive as Filesystem

In this step, you need to execute the following command on terminal to install a Filesystem adapter for Google drive. So, run the following command in your terminal:

composer require nao-pon/flysystem-google-drive:~1.1

php artisan make:provider GoogleDriveServiceProvider

Then, inside the boot() method add the Google driver for the Laravel filesystem:

app/Providers/GoogleDriveServiceProvider.php

public function boot()

{

\Storage::extend('google', function ($app, $config) {

$client = new \Google_Client();

$client->setClientId($config['clientId']);

$client->setClientSecret($config['clientSecret']);

$client->refreshToken($config['refreshToken']);

$service = new \Google_Service_Drive($client);

$adapter = new \Hypweb\Flysystem\GoogleDrive\GoogleDriveAdapter($service, $config['folderId']);

return new \League\Flysystem\Filesystem($adapter);

});

}

After this, register the service provider by adding the following line in the providers array of config/app.php.

config/app.php

'providers' => [

// ...

App\Providers\GoogleDriveServiceProvider::class,

];

Step 5 : Configure Google Drive Details

In this step, configure Google drive app with this laravel app. So, open your laravel 8 project in any text editor. Then navigate the config directory and open filesystem.php file and add the client id, secret and callback url:

config/filesystem.php

return [

'disks' => [

// ...

'google' => [

'driver' => 'google',

'clientId' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID'),

'clientSecret' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET'),

'refreshToken' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN'),

'folderId' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID'),

],

// ...

],

];

And also you need to update .env file of laravel 8 app. In this environment file you need to add the following Google drive credentials:

Step 6 : Setup env

In this step you can add client id and secret and token and folder id in env file so let's open env file and put the bellow code.
