You need to know where your file lives. You also need a path to get there.

In you example you used url(), which tries to access you file over the web, using http.

Laravel has handy path helper functions, check them out in the manual.

E.g., if your file is located in the storage folder, you could do

File::get(storage_path('myfolder/test.txt'));

You need to specify disk name with storage, Like this: Storage::disk('local')->put('file.txt','content');
