Grammer error with fileupload

I am trying to upload files, It all works, except for writing to the storage space. I guess I am missing something, I just do not know what. Is there a better way of writing the file?

the error I get is:

ErrorException in Grammar.php line 107:
Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Database\Grammar::columnize() must be of the type array, object given, called in /var/www/laravel/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Query/Grammars/Grammar.php on line 114 and defined

If i remove the line: Storage::disk('local')->put($entry->Hash, File::get($NEW_file)); it works.

My Controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;

        return "file browser";
    }
