Can't access to file from storage path in laravel 5.8
hi,
I have some trouble while triying to acces file from storage path.
So, i have already done php artisan storage:link.
File access are fine in local using these method asset('storage/file.xx'), url('storage/file.xx') or 'storage/file.xx'. But i can't access file with these method on shared hosting and got 404 error for file link.
Any idea? Can help?
Thanks

you need to clarify what you mean by 'access' . Are you trying to get to the file from your code (in which case you need a path) or create a link in your html (in which case you need a URL)?
The helper to use is different depending on what you are trying to do.
Did you use Storage:link on your shared hosting?

maybe your server has disabled symlink for security reason.
you can use the public folder instead of storage folder.
OR you can checkout this link

@EEETM - finaly, I store file in public folder then retreive them on view. for that first i have setting up disk on config/filesystems.php
'uploads' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path(),
],
and then call the disk while saving file.
