Now install this component:

$ composer require google/cloud-storage

Please see our Authentication guide for more information on authenticating your client. Once authenticated, you'll be ready to start making requests.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Google\Cloud\Storage\StorageClient;
$storage = new StorageClient();
$bucket = $storage->bucket('my_bucket');
// Upload a file to the bucket.
$bucket->upload(
    fopen('/data/file.txt', 'r')
);
// Using Predefined ACLs to manage object permissions, you may
// upload a file and give read access to anyone with the URL.
$bucket->upload(
    fopen('/data/file.txt', 'r'),
    [
        'predefinedAcl' => 'publicRead'
    ]
);
// Download and store an object from the bucket locally.
$object = $bucket->object('file_backup.txt');
$object->downloadToFile('/data/file_backup.txt');

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Google\Cloud\Storage\StorageClient;
$storage = new StorageClient();
$storage->registerStreamWrapper();
$contents = file_get_contents('gs://my_bucket/file_backup.txt');
