Passing a php resource to Storage::put

The docs state this:

//Storing Files
//The put method may be used to store a file on disk. You may also pass a PHP resource to the put method, which will use Flysystem's underlying //stream support. Using streams is greatly recommended when dealing with large files:
//Storage::put('file.jpg', $contents);
//Storage::put('file.jpg', $resource);

I am looking to save a file larger than my php memory limit (512MB), so when I do this, I get a memory error:

Storage::put('destinationfolder/file.jpg', Storage::get('originfolder/file.jpg'));

FatalErrorException in Local.php line 128: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 377028088 bytes).

How do I use the streaming functionality as indicated in the docs?

It looks like you're trying to copy an existing file?

// Copy
Storage::copy('old/file1.jpg', 'new/file1.jpg');

// Move
Storage::move('old/file1.jpg', 'new/file1.jpg');
