What are the prerequisites for setting up Google Cloud Storage with Laravel Media Library

1. Google Cloud Account and Bucket: You'll need a Google Cloud account and a Google Cloud Storage bucket that has Fine-grained access control enabled.

2. Google Cloud SDK and Credentials: You'll need to set up the Google Cloud SDK and obtain the necessary credentials, including a service account JSON file or the required environment variables (e.g., `GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEY_FILE`, `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID`, `GOOGLE_CLOUD_STORAGE_BUCKET`).

3. Laravel Media Library Package: Install the `spatie/laravel-medialibrary` package in your Laravel application.

4. Google Cloud Storage Filesystem Driver: Install the `spatie/laravel-google-cloud-storage` package, which provides the Google Cloud Storage filesystem driver for Laravel.

5. Configure Filesystem Disk: In your Laravel application's `config/filesystems.php` file, add a new disk configuration for the Google Cloud Storage driver, specifying the necessary credentials and settings.

6. Specify Disk in Media Collections: In your Eloquent model that uses the Laravel Media Library, define the media collections and specify the Google Cloud Storage disk to use for each collection.

7. Add Media to Google Cloud Storage: When adding media to your model, use the appropriate media collection name to store the files on the Google Cloud Storage disk.

8. Retrieve Media from Google Cloud Storage: When retrieving media, access the files from the appropriate media collection stored on the Google Cloud Storage disk.

By ensuring these prerequisites are met, you can successfully integrate Google Cloud Storage with the Laravel Media Library and start storing and managing your application's media files on the Google Cloud platform.
