Step 7 – Conclusion

Step 1 – Install Laravel 8 App

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

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

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel Blog

Step 2 – Connecting App to Database

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

 DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
 DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
 DB_PORT=3306 
 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
 DB_USERNAME=here database username here
 DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=here your database name here

DB_USERNAME=here database username here

DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Step 3 – Install spatie/laravel-backup

In this step run the following command to install spatie/laravel-backup package in laravel 8:

composer require spatie/laravel-backup

1	composer require spatie/laravel-backup

Now, run the following command to publish this installed package:

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

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

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

<?php
    
return [
    
    // ...
 
    'destination' => [
   
        // ...
 
        /*
         * The disk names on which the backups will be stored.
         */
        'disks' => [
            'dropbox',
        ],

<?php

return [

// ...

'destination' => [

// ...

* The disk names on which the backups will be stored.

'disks' => [

'dropbox',

Step 4 – Setup Dropbox as Filesystem in Laravel

Now, you need to run the following command to install a Filesystem adapter for DropBox:

composer require spatie/flysystem-dropbox

1	composer require spatie/flysystem-dropbox

php artisan make:provider DropboxServiceProvider

1	php artisan make:provider DropboxServiceProvider

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

<?php
  
namespace App\Providers;
  
use Storage;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Spatie\Dropbox\Client as DropboxClient;
use Spatie\FlysystemDropbox\DropboxAdapter;
  
class DropboxServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    // ...
    public function boot()
    {
        Storage::extend('dropbox', function ($app, $config) {
            $client = new DropboxClient(
                $config['authorization_token']
            );
  
            return new Filesystem(new DropboxAdapter($client));
        });
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Storage;

use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

use Spatie\Dropbox\Client as DropboxClient;

use Spatie\FlysystemDropbox\DropboxAdapter;

class DropboxServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider

{

// ...

public function boot()

{

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

$client = new DropboxClient(

$config['authorization_token']

);

return new Filesystem(new DropboxAdapter($client));

});

}

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

'providers' => [
    // ...
    App\Providers\DropboxDriveServiceProvider::class,
];

'providers' => [

// ...

App\Providers\DropboxDriveServiceProvider::class,

];

Step 5 – Configure Dropbox Details

Now you need to configure Dropbox app with this laravel app. Go to the config directory and open filesystem.php file and add the client id, secret and callback url:

<?php
    
return [
    
    // ...
    
    'disks' => [
    
        // ...
    
        'dropbox' => [
            'driver' => 'dropbox',
            'authorization_token' => env('DROPBOX_AUTH_TOKEN'),
        ],
    
    ],
];

<?php

return [

// ...

'disks' => [

// ...

'dropbox' => [

'driver' => 'dropbox',

'authorization_token' => env('DROPBOX_AUTH_TOKEN'),

];

And also you need to update .env file of laravel 8 app. In this environment file you need to add the following Dropbox auth token:

DROPBOX_AUTH_TOKEN=<your token>

1	DROPBOX_AUTH_TOKEN=<your token>

Step 6 – Execute Backup Command

In this step we are ready to take backup run the following command to check the backup file is created or not:

php artisan backup:run

1	php artisan backup:run
