Laravel - Image saved in storage folder not showing to user

I have this code to save an image in the storage/app/uploads folder

 $image_main = Image::where('property_id', $id)->get();

$file = $request->file('file');
      $destinationPath = 'uploads';
      $i = 0;
      foreach ($file as $file1) {
          $i++;
          $extension = $file1->getClientOriginalExtension();
          $path = $file1->storeAs(
              $destinationPath, $i.time().".".$extension
          );

This is my blade file

@foreach ($image_main as $images)
        <img src="{{"/storage/app/".$images->filename}}

The file saves in the storage/app/uploads folder but it doesn't show to the user, it says file not found. am I to set anything in the filesystems.php file

I am using Laravel Sail and the solution was deleting the storage folder inside public and recreated it inside the container using php artisan storage:link

This is worked for me: (Laravel 11)

  1. Add to the .env file FILESYSTEM_DISK=public
  2. Run the command php artisan storage:link
  3. And if it is still not working change the app url (in localhost) in .env file

APP_URL=http://localhost to APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<your-port-number>

Not the prettiest solution. You must pay attention to the port numbers if several projects are running at the same time. But this is how it will work on localhost.

Laravel storage filesystem is so unique. Any file upload will be stored in the storage/app/public directory. To make it accessible in public directory, things you need to do is to the create symlink by running the command:

php artisan storage:link

This command will symlinked storage/app/public to public/storage

Just follow the documentation about how to upload and how to retrieve the file url. I am pretty sure the step you are missing is creating the symlink.

Hope it helps.

if everything is ok, like php artisan storage:link

in my case, my file name has "+" in it. like "Frame+2856.png" and laravel didn't show me the image

I was forced to rename it.

this is the strangest thing that I have seen in laravel

  1. Add the below line in your .env file

    FILESYSTEM_DRIVER = public (Laravel 9 and below)

FILESYSTEM_DISK=public (Laravel 10 and above)

  2. Navigate to the public folder and delete the storage link folder

  3. Then Run the command

    php artisan storage:link

If nothing helps like in my case, check your symlink with ls -l if you are on linux and pay attention to the path is absolute or relative. Mine was absolute because I switched my dev environment from a local install of php and apache to docker. If you are in the same situation, delete the symlink and create it with this additional parameter:

php artisan storage:link --relative

Laravel may ask for symfony/filesystem to be installed. Then run this first:

composer require symfony/filesystem

After the creation of the symlink with the correct path now everything should be fine.

I had the same issue (the symlink has been added) with my local environment, but all started working after changing APP_URL=http://localhost to APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 in the .env file.

Try this method it will 100% work.

First create a symlink : php artisan storage:link

Look inside public folder where all of your images are stored and in src mention those folder names and atlast your image name from the database.

Example :

<img src="/images/posts/{{$post->featured_image}}">

OR

Example : Full path to display image using link in browser

<img src="{{asset('/images/posts/'.$post->featured_image)}}">

you have add this line in your .env file

FILESYSTEM_DRIVER = public

after that you need to run this command in your terminal

php artisan storage:link

and if that's is still not working then you need to call storage directory before your link

                <img src="{{ asset('storage/'.$post->image) }}" width="120px" hight="120px" alt="">

If you are using homestead as the environment on Mac then you need to follow this:

  1. Delete your public/storage folder (if any)

  2. Follow these steps:

    1. ssh into your homestead using below command
    2. cd ~homestead
    3. vagrant up
    4. vagrant ssh
    5. cd Code/PATH_TO_YOUR_APP_ROOT_DIR
    6. php artisan storage:link

  3. Access image like this {{ asset('storage/img/myimage.jpg') }}

You can't use the storage folder for this. You need to move the images to the public folder to access from http.

Try to create a folder call images in public folder and upload the image to that folder. Then you can access the images as follows.

<img src="{{ public_path('images/image-name.png')}}" alt="" />

Your storage folder is not accessible from user.

You must pass by Storage::url() method:

Storage::url("/storage/app/{$images->filename}")

As:

<img src="{{ Storage::url("/storage/app/{$images->filename}") }}" alt="{{ $images->filename }}" />
