How can I upload image using Storage::put on the laravel?

My code to upload image like this :

$file = $file->move($path, $fileName);

The code works

But I want to change it using Storage::put like this reference :

I try like this :

Storage::put($fileName, $path);

It does not works

I'm confused, where I must put $file on the code

How can I solve this problem?

put() is when you have the file contents held in a variable (not a pointer to the file)

Storage::put($fileName, $file);

Level 1

I know this question is old, but for future people that come across this, use the following

Storage::put($fileName, File::get($request->file));

where $request->file is the file uploaded by a user. This will create the file within the default Storage location with the specified file name.

@natew WHAT, load the whole file into memory to then write it back to a file?

Why do that when there is a perfectly good move() operation

So is this a good approach?

public function store(Request $request) {
		Storage::put("uploads", $request->get("file"));
    }
