In my test-file there is only the word TEST

and in the broken file there are many symbols, numbers,...:

Calibri Light1,

6¼)
Calibri1

6¼)
Calibri1Ü
6¼)
Calibri1ܐ
)
Calibri1ܐ
)
Calibri1Ü<
)
Calibri1Ü>
)
Calibri1Ü
? 
00_ ;_ *}-} 
00_ ;_ *}-} 
00_ ;_ *}-} 
00_ ;_ *}-} 
00_ ;_ *}-} 
00_ ;_ *}-} 
00_ ;_ *}-}

When I open the file directly on the server, everything works fine. So, the problem occurs during download.

The error happens when opening the file in Excel.

„Excel cannot open the file 'corrupted.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.“

Hi guy's,

I want to download an excel-file stored in storage/app/private/import via controller-function but everytime i open the downloaded-file I get an error: 'File-Type does not match file-extension'.

public function download($path) { $disk = Storage::disk('local'); return Storage::download($path); }

I have this problem with .xls and .xlsx Files

Can you help me?
