How to display an image from storage on blade views in shared hosting?

In my local machine, I can display images stored in /storage/app/public/images on blade views. I use the command below to do so.

php artisan storage:link

In case of shared hosting, the image can't display at all. I put the project files like this:

/public_html - contains the public files of Laravel app

/core_app - contains all files except the public folder of the Laravel app.

The images are stored in /core_app/storage/app/public/images.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You have two options here.

Shared hosting sucks for this, so you can't use the storage directory for accessing files. Instead you can store everything in the public directory by default.
Fetch a file from the storage directory and return it yourself, this should help you out: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30191330/laravel-5-how-to-access-image-uploaded-in-storage-within-view
