Laravel 8 - Find image url

I am using Laravel Framework 8.68.0.

I am having the following configuration in my filesystems.php:

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

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

The following link works:

http://localhost/myProject/public/storage/collectibles_img/0_test.jpg

The following link does not work:

http://localhost/myProject/public/collectible/image/0_test.jpg

All my images are in the following folder:

enter image description here

Any suggestion why my second link does not work?

I appreciate your replies!

The filesystems.php only affects Laravel's internal filesystem management (e.g. moving a file from within Laravel, saving an uploaded file, etc.), not the actual HTTP server which is what serves static files such as images. If you want to have a custom URL, you can either modify your web server's configuration (e.g. .htaccess), or create a Laravel route and controller to serve files from within Laravel. The latter approach will require that you map the requests to files yourself, and each request would have the overhead of loading PHP.

Alternatively, you could create a symlink from public/storage/collectibles_img to public/collectible/image (you would need to create the collectible folder first, then set up collectible/image as a symlink to public/storage/collectibles_img).
