show image stored outside the public folder in view file - Laravel

I have images in storage/app/uploads/image.jpg, I run command Php artisan storage:link After that in my view file I used this: 

img src={{ asset('storage/app/upload/image.jpg') }}

but the image is not showing. I don't want to put my images in public folder. Any help would be highly appreciable.

  1. You said that you have images on uploads folder but then your src says upload/.

  2. You need to create a route where you can fetch the images.

     Route::get('images/{filename}', function ($filename)
{
 $path = app_path('upload') . '/' . $filename;

 $file = File::get($path);
 $type = File::mimeType($path);

 $response = Response::make($file, 200);
 $response->header("Content-Type", $type);

 return $response;
 })->name('route.name');

Then in your blade file, all you have to do is call the route and the file name of the image separated by a comma.

img src={{ route('route.name', 'image.jpg') }}

If you don't want to store your files inside storage/app/public (which is what the storage:link symlink does), then you need to create a route:

Route::get('show-image', function() {
   $file = storage_path('app/upload/image.jpg');

   return response()->file($file);
})
