File Admin/File Upload without Symlink

Hi @johnw65 ,

My first question: Would it be an issue if the file is publicly accessible if the URL is known? If not: You can upload the files directly in the public dir.

In config/filesystems.php you would have to add a new disk:

'public_uploads' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root'   => public_path() . '/uploads',
],

And store files like this:

if(!Storage::disk('public_uploads')->put($path, $file_content)) {
    return false;
}

No symlinks needed to access the newly uploaded files, but they are accessible for everyone that knows the url.
