Laravel 5.3 store and read file directories

Currently trying to play about with files but struggling to figure out where to put them and how to read them back in a list.

Ive tried putting few test files into

$files = array();
$dir = opendir(asset('files'); // open the cwd..also do an err check.
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir))) {
    if(($file != ".") and ($file != "..") and ($file != "index.php")) {
            $files[] = $file; // put in array.
    }   
}

but it just returns blank despite having 3 test files in it.

Looked into larval recipes and suggestions say File:allFile() which isn't a supported method but its got me wondering apart from how to read files from a directory, where should i be really storing files I'm going to have on a server.

Laravel 5.3 uses Storage instead of Files. You can access all of the files in a directory using either of these two methods:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

$files = Storage::files($directory);

$files = Storage::allFiles($directory); // Includes subdirectories
