How to access in browser a storage file?
File is stored inside app/storage/app/uploads/ with the name song.mp3. I tried in URL different approaches but no success: http://localhost:8000/storage/uploads/song.mp3 doesn't work.
filesystems.php
'links' => [
public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
],

@Snapey I was following Google advice.
When using the local driver, all files that should be publicly accessible should be placed in the storage/app/public directory. Furthermore, you should create a symbolic link at public/storage which points to the storage/app/public directory.

@floreap thats what I said
You were storing in storage/app/uploads when it should be storage/app/public

As you have this:
'links' => [
public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
],
Move your file to
app/storage/app/public/uploads/song.mp3

And don't forget to run:
php artisan storage:link --force
To rebuild the symlink
