Set "Share publicly" after uploading

[weehong]

May I know is that possible to set the file to "Share publicly" after uploading the file and obtain the public link?

// This function will return the location + stored name from Google Storage
$disk = Storage::disk('gcs')->put($location, $image);

// Pass in the disk variable, and then the visibility.
Storage::disk('gcs')->setVisibility($disk, 'public');

This works for me @weehong

@ro0t Thanks for the idea.
It made me go through \Superbalist\LaravelGoogleCloudStorage\GoogleCloudStorageServiceProvider - which made me realise that the value of 'visibility' for the gs disk in config('filesystems') is not used at all.

(My bad - I assumed that, like other packages, this one also supports 'visibility' config field)

Ended up making this simple function. It gets the job done in a single request to Google storage.

/**
 * @param string $location
 * @param HttpFile|UploadedFile $file
 * @param string $fileName
 *
 * @return null
 */
public static function storeInDefaultDisk($location, $file, $fileName)
{
    // Visibility issue:
    // > \Superbalist\LaravelGoogleCloudStorage\GoogleCloudStorageServiceProvider, which is used for Google Storage,
    //     does not use the value of 'visibility' for the gs disk in config('filesystems')
    // > So, lets just pass this ignored config as 4th argument in Storage::putFileAs()
    //
    $options = [];

    $visibility = config('filesystems.disks.' . config('filesystems.default') . '.visibility');
    if( $visibility != null ){
        $options['visibility'] = $visibility;
    }

    /*$pathUploadedFile =*/ \Storage::putFileAs($location, $file, $fileName, $options);

    return;
}

Google Compute Engine service-account has 'Read Write' access for Storage.
Using v2.0.0 of this package.
