Filesystem Configuration

Register cloudinary driver configuration in config/filesystems.php at disks section as follows

'cloudinary' => [
    'driver'         => 'cloudinary',
    'api_key'        => env('CLOUDINARY_API_KEY'),
    'api_secret'     => env('CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET'),
    'cloud_name'     => env('CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME'),
    'secure'         => env('CLOUDINARY_SECURE', true),
    'resource_types' => [
        'image' => [
            'png',
            'jpeg',
            'jpg',
        ],
        'video' => [
            'mp4',
            'avi',
            'mp3',
            'flac',
        ],
        'raw'   => [
            'pdf',
            'xlsx',
            'csv',
            'txt',
        ],
    ],
],

The secure option is applied when generating url from storage, when secure = true will use https otherwise secure = false will use http as protocol.

The resource_types option is applied when generating resource type & public id whenever we call storage method such as write, writeStream, url, has, etc. Registers the appropriate file extensions according to cloudinary resource type e.g: png in image, mp4 in video, xlsx in raw, for audio files registers in video. The default resource type is image, visit image upload api reference for more information.

Tips

To use pre-defined filename as public ID when uploading to cloudinary, you need to tweak some configuration in Settings -> Upload -> Upload presets as follows:

• Click edit button on signed mode preset, initial preset is ml_default you can update it.

• Turn on Use filename or externally defined public ID to using the pre-defined filename instead of random characters.

• Turn off Unique filename to prevent cloudinary from adding random characters at the end of filename.

• Click Save and you're good to go.
