If you use this code, it will upload your file in storage/app folder-

Storage::disk('local')->put('file.txt', 'Contents');

Ref: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/filesystem

Now, if you need to change the directory and store into the storage folder directly, you need to change something in the filesystems.php file.

Go to config/filesystems.php file and change the following code-

'local' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app'),
        ],

Here, this line of code 'root' => storage_path('app'), responsible to define where to store. You just adjust according to your demands.

        ]);

        $user = User::findOrFail(auth()->user()->id);

        // Handle file Upload
        if($request->hasFile('avatar')){

            //Storage::delete('/public/avatars/'.$user->avatar);

            // Get filename with the extension
            $filenameWithExt = $request->file('avatar')->getClientOriginalName();
            //Get just filename
            $filename = pathinfo($filenameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
            // Get just ext
            $extension = $request->file('avatar')->getClientOriginalExtension();
            // Filename to store
            $fileNameToStore = $filename.'_'.time().'.'.$extension;
            // Upload Image
            $path = $request->file('avatar')->storeAs('public/avatars',$fileNameToStore);

       $user->avatar = $fileNameToStore ;

            $user->save(); 
        }
