Error creating symlink in Laravel Voyager

Hi. When I switch from local to hosting, I get the following error; "We could not find a storage symlink. This could cause problems with loading media files from the browser." I talked to my hosting company about this issue, but they said you can't create a symlink for security reasons. Using ssh is also not allowed. Unfortunately, the "php artisan storage:link" command in "compass-commands" doesn't work either. I couldn't find how to do it. I will be glad if you help.

Try creating it in the Linux file system.

ln -s target link

Replace target and link with actual target and link. Just suggestion only.

Also look up the command to better understand.

I am using shared hosting and I am not allowed to use ssh. I don't know where to type the terminal command you gave. Also, I've never used linux in my life :)
