Before integrating Google Drive in laravel 9. that you have google client id and secret id, refresh token and folder id. Please follow the instruction given below. You can create Google App in Google Developer Console by following the steps given below.

Step 1 – Visit the link given below and create a new project:

https://console.developers.google.com/

Step 2 – Visit “Library” of google search console and search for “Google Drive API“:

Step 3 – Then enable the Google Drive API.

Step 4 – Now, Visit “Credentials” and click on the tab “OAuth Consent Screen”. Here you will get options to select user type, select “External” option, and click the “CREATE” button.

Step 5 – Please provide following details like “App Name“, “User support email” and “Email” in the Developer contact information and click Save And Continue button. For other forms “Scopes“, “Test Users” and “Summary” click on Save And Continue button and go to the dashboard. Don’t worry about the other fields.

Step 6 – Now, on OAuth consent screen, you will see that the App’s Publishing status is testing. Click the Publish App button and confirm.

Step 7 – Now, visit Credentials and click the button that says “Create Credentials” and select “OAuth Client ID“.

Step 8 – For “Application type” choose “Web Application” and give it a name. You also need to provide your “Authorized redirect URIs”.

Step 9 – Now visit the below link:

Step 12 – Now, complete this step and click on step 1 again and you should see your refresh token.

Step 13 – Now you need folder ID that is optional. If you set folder ID to null, in that case, it is going to store backup files in the root path of Google Drive. You can get the folder ID from the URL.

Install Laravel 9

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 9 using the below command

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

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

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=blog
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=blog

DB_USERNAME=root

DB_PASSWORD=

Install spatie/laravel-backup

In this step run the following command to install spatie/laravel-backup package in laravel 9

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 google in the disk option in the config/backup.php.

'disks' => [
    'google',                
    'local',             
],

'disks' => [

'google',

'local',

Setup Google Drive as Filesystem in Laravel

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

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

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

php artisan make:provider GoogleDriveServiceProvider

1	php artisan make:provider GoogleDriveServiceProvider

Now, 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);
    });
}

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);

});

}

Now, you need to register the service provider toproviders array of config/app.php.

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

'providers' => [

// ...

App\Providers\GoogleDriveServiceProvider::class,

];

Configure Google Drive Details

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

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'),
        ],
         
        // ...
         
    ],
     
    // ...
];

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'),

// ...

];

You also you need to update .env file of laravel 8 app. Please add the following Google drive credentials:

GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID=xxx.apps.googleusercontent.com
GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx
GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN=xxx
GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID=null

GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID=xxx.apps.googleusercontent.com

GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx

GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN=xxx

GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID=null

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:
