hi sir.
pls can you show me how to get the download link of an uploaded file from drive ?
is there any method for that ?
i want to download a file directly by this link
thanks in advance <3

or how ot get the share link form a file that would be so useful also

Hi,

Is it possible to get the link with this:

Storage::cloud()->url($path);

You may need to share the file first, but not 100% sure about that.
Full example:

laravel-google-drive-demo/routes/web.php

Lines 269 to 296 in a545a75

    
           Route::get('share', function() { 
        
               $filename = 'test.txt'; 
        
               // Store a demo file 
        
               Storage::cloud()->put($filename, 'Hello World'); 
        
               // Get the file to find the ID 
        
               $dir = '/'; 
        
               $recursive = false; // Get subdirectories also? 
        
               $contents = collect(Storage::cloud()->listContents($dir, $recursive)); 
        
               $file = $contents 
        
                   ->where('type', '=', 'file') 
        
                   ->where('filename', '=', pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME)) 
        
                   ->where('extension', '=', pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)) 
        
                   ->first(); // there can be duplicate file names! 
        
               // Change permissions 
        
               // - https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/about-permissions 
        
               // - https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/reference/permissions 
        
               $service = Storage::cloud()->getAdapter()->getService(); 
        
               $permission = new \Google_Service_Drive_Permission(); 
        
               $permission->setRole('reader'); 
        
               $permission->setType('anyone'); 
        
               $permission->setAllowFileDiscovery(false); 
        
               $permissions = $service->permissions->create($file['basename'], $permission); 
        
               return Storage::cloud()->url($file['path']); 
        
           });

thank you so much sir

@ivanvermeyen Hi.

From what I gather from the code you posted, it loads all files in a collection and finds the path by comparing the filename. If I have many files wouldn't that create a problem? (The usage I have in mind could reach more than 80,000 files)

Isn't there another way to get the path (when uploading the file for example)?

Thanks

I think you can if you use the underlying package directly.

Laravel's Storage::put() method doesn't return the path unfortunately.

	Route::get('share', function() {
	$filename = 'test.txt';

	// Store a demo file
	Storage::cloud()->put($filename, 'Hello World');

	// Get the file to find the ID
	$dir = '/';
	$recursive = false; // Get subdirectories also?
	$contents = collect(Storage::cloud()->listContents($dir, $recursive));
	$file = $contents
	->where('type', '=', 'file')
	->where('filename', '=', pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME))
	->where('extension', '=', pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION))
	->first(); // there can be duplicate file names!

	// Change permissions
	// - https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/about-permissions
	// - https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/reference/permissions
	$service = Storage::cloud()->getAdapter()->getService();
	$permission = new \Google_Service_Drive_Permission();
	$permission->setRole('reader');
	$permission->setType('anyone');
	$permission->setAllowFileDiscovery(false);
	$permissions = $service->permissions->create($file['basename'], $permission);

	return Storage::cloud()->url($file['path']);
	});
