About

October-fied implementation of the Google Drive Flysystem Driver.

Important Note:

Google Drive is an ID-based filesystem; it supports having multiple files with the same name within a given directory. This driver exposes the file and directory IDs when requesting filenames which means if you hooked it up the the Media manager to view your files you would see something like the picture below:

Google Drive IDs instead of filenames

Configuration

Example Storage disk configuration using the googledrive storage driver provided by this plugin:

'mygoogledrive' => [
    'driver' => 'googledrive',
    'clientId' => '',
    'clientSecret' => '',
    'refreshToken' => '',
    
    // Null for the route folder, otherwise a folder ID to base the driver off of
    'folderId' => null,
],

See the Configuration Guides at the bottom for how to get the values for clientId, clientSecret, refreshToken, & folderId.

Then go back to Credentials, click the button that says "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth Client ID".

Create Credentials

Choose "Web Application" and give it a name.

Add https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground in "Authorized redirect URIs". You will need to use this in the next step to get your refresh token. Once you have the token, you can remove the URI.

Click Create and take note of your Client ID and Client Secret.

Getting your Refresh Token

Go to https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground.

Make sure you added this URL to your Authorized redirect URIs in the previous step.

Use your own OAuth credentials

In step 1 on the left, scroll to "Drive API v3", expand it and check the first drive scope.

Check Scopes

Click "Authorize APIs" and allow access to your account when prompted. There will be a few warning prompts, just proceed.

When you get to step 2, check "Auto-refresh the token before it expires" and click "Exchange authorization code for tokens".

Getting your Root Folder ID

If you want to store files in your Google Drive root directory, then the folder ID can be null. Else go into your Drive and create a folder.

Because Google Drive allows duplicate names, it identifies each file and folder with a unique ID. If you open your folder, you will see the Folder ID in the URL.
