Is it possible to upload files directly to the Google Cloud Storage?

Question

I have written a file upload for larger files that is uploading the files to the Cloud Storage. Unfortunately this takes a while, because the Files are uploaded to the web server first, and then again from the web server to the Google Cloud Storage. Is there a way to upload files directly to the Cloud Storage with the Google PHP Api Client (https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client)? I couldn't find anything on this topic in the docs.

Answer 1

You need to create an upload URL with the name of your bucket, and the upload will go directly into that bucket.
