I want to upload the files without authorization dialog is that possible? is there any sample without oauth2?

Everything going to cloud storage needs auth key. You can set up a service account get a bearer key without the user logging in. I modified some code from google-api-php-client. To provide the bearer key. Using the following.
function getMediaKey(){
/************************************************
Make an API request authenticated with a service
account.
************************************************/
set_include_path("../google-api-php-client/src/" . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
require_once 'Google/Client.php';
$client_id = '<your clientid>';
$service_account_name = '<serviceaccountemail';
$key_file_location = '< location of you privatekey.p12>';
//echo pageHeader("Service Account Access");
if ($client_id == '<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>'
|| !strlen($service_account_name)
|| !strlen($key_file_location)) {
echo missingServiceAccountDetailsWarning();
}
$client = new Google_Client();
$key = file_get_contents($key_file_location);
$cred = new Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials(
$service_account_name,
array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control'),
$key
);
$client->setAssertionCredentials($cred);
if($client->getAuth()->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
$client->getAuth()->refreshTokenWithAssertion($cred);
}
$bearerKey = $client->getAccessToken();
return $bearerKey;
}
Then you can post your media files using the bearer key.
