Laravel 8 - Get image url from images saved in storage folder

I am using Laravel Framework 8.62.0 and save uploaded images like the following:

            $contents = file_get_contents($imgUrl);
            // $file_name = basename($url_upper);
            $file_name = strtolower(substr($imgUrl, strrpos($imgUrl, '/') + 1));
            $strg = Storage::disk('public_collectible_img')->put($file_name, $contents);

My public_collectible_img-driver looks like the following:

        'public_collectible_img' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/public/collectibles_img'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL').'/collectible/image',
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

When I try to open the following url localy I get a 404-error.

http://localhost/my_project/public/collectible/image/1.jpg

The image exists in the folder:

enter image description here

How to access the image and what is the correct url?

I appreciate your replies!

You have to create the a symbolic link between "storage" and "public" folder

To make these files accessible from the web, you should create a symbolic link from public/storage to storage/app/public.

Run the following artisan code:

php artisan storage:link
