Show what you have. Any reason for putting it in public? You want people to steal your credentials? Put them in storage

How to set json file path in .env file for google api credentials, in production
I'm trying to use Google speech to text api. And I'm unable to set the json file path in .env for Google credentials, on production.
While in local server, it is working properly but I don't know how to do it in production.
I have placed the json file in public folder but it is giving an error.
If anybody know the solution, kindly do comment. I need it urgently.

@sinnbeck initially i put it in storage folder....but just moved it to public for testing when google failed to get JSON file.
I just need to know how to give path of JSON file, i can always change locations
in ENV, i am putting it like this
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="be374f9c211f.json"
ant the error i am getting is
Google\ApiCore\ValidationException: Could not construct ApplicationDefaultCredentials in file /.../.../vendor/google/gax/src/CredentialsWrapper.php on line 271

@Sinnbeck Is it safe to put on root directory?
Level 102
@Jonjie What root directory? The base of the laravel install? if so, then yes it should be (as long as the webserver is pointed to /public)
Level 8
@Jonjie push app root to github, ssh into server, git clone the app, create soft link ln -s /app/public public_html.
Folder structure will be like this
/domain
/public_html <- softlink to public inside app, when user goes to url, they are directed into here by the server, and then it looks for the index.php
/app <- all laravel files in here
