Laravel 5.4 Storage link

First of all in the .env file create a variable named FILESYSTEM_DRIVER and set it to public like this

FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=public

and then create symbolic link by run

php artisan storage:link

after that just use asset()

<img src="{{ asset('storage/'.$cv->photo) }}" alt="...">

It'll work fine 😊

Go to public directory:

cd public

Run this to remove the Storage folder:

rm -r storage

Go back to project root:

cd ..

Then run:

php artisan storage:link

The public disk is intended for files that are going to be publicly accessible. By default, the public disk uses the local driver and stores these files in storage/app/public. To make them accessible from the web, you should create a symbolic link from public/storage to storage/app/public. Laravel doc

Create Symbolic link in Linux

ln -s source_file myfile

solved it with just a simple modification on the filesystems config/file systems from :

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

to :

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

if you're unable to create symblink on LAMP via running

php artisan storage:link 

then run

 ln -s public_html/storage/app/public public_html/public/storage

if your not in public_html or at root folder then run

  ln -s /application/xyhpnqyw/public_html/storage/app/public /application/xyhpnqyw/public_html/public/storage
    target='/application/xyhpnqyw/public_html/storage/app/public'
    shortcut='/application/xyhpnqyw/public_html/public/storage'
