Everything work fine. I just want to make sure in storage Path thier is no way to access with URL right? I put my image into storage/images not storage/app/public
If i storage link it will be effect to my private image or not thanks
In Laravel the root of the webserver is the public directory and the entrypoint is public/index.php.
This means that you can access via web server everything under public directory (like javascript/css files and image assets).
The storage directory is one level up and there is no way to access it.
In the discussion you mention the url http://www.somedomainname.net/images/users/userImage.jpg refers to the file userImage.jpg under /your/document/root/laravel/app/public/images/users by default, so the storage directory is not even read.
Laravel, though, will let you link the storage/app/public directory inside the public/storage directory, using the command php artisan storage:link, but that's it.
