Laravel filesystems storage path

I personally stuck on the point where I created projects and forgot to change the path from storage to public. Actually, I wanted to store the file(images) in the image folder that was created in the root.

This is what we see in the filesystems.php file

'disks' => [

        'local' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app'),
        ],

        'public' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('img'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL').'/img',
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

        's3' => [
            'driver' => 's3',
            'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
            'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
            'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'),
            'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
            'url' => env('AWS_URL'),
        ],

    ],

Making your own way to stare the images. You can change the path by ...

'public' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('img'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL').'/img',
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In the 'root' => storage_path('img), You can change it like these

base_path();    // '/var/www/mysite'
app_path();     // '/var/www/mysite/app'
storage_path(); // '/var/www/mysite/storage'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
