You can follow below steps to create a symlink

First go to root directory of file system by running this command

cd /

Then run this command

ln -s /path-to/my-laravel-folder/storage/app/public /path-to/public_html/storage

I faced the same problem on Hostinger and I was able to fix this by running the following command in the root directory.

ln -s /home/MY_USERNAME/domains/MY-DOMAIN.COM/my-laravel-folder/storage/app/public /home/MY_USERNAME/domains/MY-DOMAIN.COM/public_html/storage
