I want to use the Google drive API to upload files using my web app with an upload button. The back-end of the app is built with Laravel API and mongodb, and the front-end with angularJs. My end goal is for the file the user is uploading to be stored to a company's Google drive folder, not the user's (like Google file picker etc.) I'm a beginner when it comes to API, so any suggestions would be helpful.

You can use a service account and Google OAuth 2.0 to upload files to a company account.
reference link : https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount
A service Account does have limitations.
For an alternative approach refer to this link : How do I authorise an app (web or installed) without user intervention?
