通过DRIVE API远程上传到Google Drive

Question

How to upload a file to Google Drive using the API by a url(Remote Upload)? I read the doc and I did not find any option like DropBox where save_url() can be used to remote upload.

But, there are a lot of sites which allows remote upload to Google Drive, so it must be possible.

You may refer with this tutorial on how to directly upload files from the web to Google Drive without saving them completely on the server before. This is useful to upload files, which are bigger than the storage available on the server.

How to use it:

• Rename "credentials/oauth-credentials_EXAMPLE.json" to "credentials/oauth-credentials.json"
• Download your oauth2 credentials in the google developer console and copy it in it
• Call the "index.php" from the console ( "php index.php" )
• Follow the messages in the console window
• Create pull requests to help with the development

Hope this helps!
