How to display images from storage path?

How to display images from storage folder (outside public) ? I stored my image files in storage/cover but unable to display it to view. My show method :

public function index() {
        $categories = Category::with('post')->orderBy('id', 'desc')->paginate(4);
        return view('dashboard/categories/index', compact('categories', $categories));
    }

The view :

<?php foreach ($categories as $cat): ?>
            <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3">
                <div class="blog-item">
                    <a href="{{ url('dashboard/categories/' . $cat->titleslug) }}" class="blog-img"><img src="{{asset('cover/'. $cat->cover)}}" class="img-responsive" alt=""/></a>
                </div><!-- blog-item -->
            </div><!-- col-xs-6 -->
        <?php endforeach; ?>

That's all and thanks!

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

https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/filesystem#configuration

Then you'll be able to do something like this:

<img src="{{ asset('storage/cover/'.$cat->cover) }}" ....
