If you do not want a file name to be automatically generated, you may use the storeAs method, which accepts the path, file name, and disk name as its arguments:

Customizing the name of an uploaded .zip file
My app accepts user-submitted .zip files, which I temporarily store in local storage:
Storage::disk('local')->put('exports', $request->custom_report_url);
The challenge is that this creates a file with what I assume is some kind of hash:
'app/storage/exports/U44SEhM1wycNgMU0bV6qieSRiGJwMPvkDpBDgkyo.zip'
This makes that zip file a pain to find later in the process.
Is there a way that I can define a custom name for that zip file? Ideally, I'd like to do something like:
Storage::disk('local')->put('exports/export_' . $export-id . '.zip', $request->custom_report_url);
However, when I run that code, it creates the following filepath:
'app/storage/exports/export_1.zip/U44SEhM1wycNgMU0bV6qieSRiGJwMPvkDpBDgkyo.zip'
Close, but not what I need. Any ideas?

use putFileAs
Storage::putFileAs(
'exports',$request->custom_report_url , 'export_' . $export-id . '.zip');

Ah didn't notice you were using Storage and not uploads. It's almost the same through, look in the File Uploads > Specifying A File Name section
https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/filesystem#file-uploads
Of course, you may also use the putFileAs method on the Storage facade, which will perform the same file manipulation as the example above:
$path = Storage::putFileAs(
'avatars', $request->file('avatar'), $request->user()->id
);
