Any way to use base64 as input while storing image to Google Drive?

[Arturexe]

Storing objects from HTML input file type field to Google Drive works great. When I try to use base64 encoded (or laravel-decoded) files in the Storage::disk('google')->put() method, nothing happens and the file doesn't arrive in drive.

Is there any way to make it possible? Or else I guess I will have to create temporary files on my server, just to be able to send the images to drive.

I never try that, make a test or a PR

Did you try

Storage::disk('google')->put('file_name.ext', base64_decode($base64String));

Ok, I had the first argument of put specified as an empty string, which worked fine when I passed in image objects from input DOM element directly but stopped working when passing in the decoded base64 string. I've specified the file name and now it works.

So, mark this as answered

Input dom files have name extension and properties, base64 data has nothing, only encrypted bytes, needs a name and a extensión for processing
