Cannot see files in laravel on shared hosting

You must save your avatar files in public accessible folder like

~/domains/DOMAIN/public_html/APP/uploads/avatars

Can you help me with this? How to do it?

Basically, the images which you wanted to show on your website should be stored after your domain name like yourdomain.com/images/avatars/11.jpg. So when you saving avatar save it into public folder because your domain name is pointed at your public_html/APP so you must save into that directory.

Or show me your file saving codes will help you.

That's the file

public function addAvatar(Request $request) { $this->validate($request, [ 'file' => 'required', ]);

    $user = $this->model->getUserById(Auth::user()->id);

    $file = $request->file('file')->store('/public/uploads/avatars');

    $filename = $request->file('file')->hashName();
    
    $extension = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
    
    if($extension == 'png' OR $extension == 'jpg' OR $extension == 'jpeg'){

        $file = UserData::avatar($request, $filename, $user->id);

        return view('user.settings', compact('user')); 
    }
    else
    {
        $file = unlink($request->file('file'));

        return view('user.settings.files', compact('user'))->with('message', 'nope');
    }
}

Change this line

$file = $request->file('file')->store(public_path() . '/uploads/avatars');

nothing changes. Cannot see image again
