Laravel response 404 file not found

Question

I'm using Dingo/API and this is a transformer that returns me data

return [
            'id' => $site->id,
            'path' => asset($site->path),
            'siteLink' => $site->site_link,
            'features' => $features,
        ];

Generated link looks good, however when I try to access it from my Angular app it's said that

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://api.example.com/public/thumbnails/ySOSYhaCCRcH3t9agsco3ToUwoHxMZJ3r1PhEHlM.jpeg

are you sure the picture(ySOSYhaCCRcH3t9agsco3ToUwoHxMZJ3r1PhEHlM.jpeg) exist? — Zane, Aug 30 '18 at 15:18
if `api.example.com` is a Laravel app then the "public" directory is usually the root of the website. Maybe try sending 'path' without the public bit — Rich, Aug 30 '18 at 15:39

Are you sure that your image stored in public/public folder? asset() helper generate a asset path from public folder. So, in your property $site->path you getting a path to your image like 'public/yourimage.jpeg'. Try to remove 'public' from your $site->path.

The solution.

In filesystems.php local disk was specified as a default disk. According to docs local disk is supposed to be invisible for public and stored inside storage/app. Thus I was trying to save my file using local disk and accessing it with path public/....

Option #1

Change in filesystems.php default disk to public and use Storage::url() to get url to image.

Option #2

Use $file->store('path', 'public') and Storage::disk('public')->url('path')

So that used disk is specified explicitly.

The given path will contain link close to http://example.com/storage/path.
