While it is possible to store files directly in the database for example by converting them to base64 strings, that's definitely not good practice.
I suggest reading Laravel's docs on files https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/filesystem to see how you can use files stored on the file system for your project.

I am confused by your need for a database if you're not accepting any input, but that's probably another thing.
