I'm using ADC authentication, but GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS doesn't read the environment variables at the OS level
```log
[previous exception] [object] (Google\\Cloud\\Core\\Exception\\ServiceException(code: 401): {\"error\":{\"code\":401,\"message\":\"Invalid Credentials\",\"errors\":[{\"message\":\"Invalid Credentials\",\"domain\":\"global\",\"reason\":\"authError\",\"locationType\":\"header\",\"location\":\"Authorization\"}]}} at /var/www/html/vendor/google/cloud-core/src/RequestWrapper.php:398)
```
environment:
PHP version: 8.1.24
Laravel version: 9.52.16
spatie/laravel-google-cloud-storage : 2.2.3
`docker-compose.yml`
```yaml
services:
laravel.test:
build:
context: ./vendor/laravel/sail/runtimes/8.1
dockerfile: Dockerfile
args:
WWWGROUP: "${WWWGROUP}"
image: sail-8.1/app
environment:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: "/run/gcp_adc.json"
volumes:
- ".:/var/www/html"
- $HOME/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json:/run/gcp_adc.json:ro
```
My Solution:
Add the following to the .env file
```
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/run/gcp_adc.json
```
now it's work
