Unable to access and display image i uploaded to the storage folder
Greetings, I uploaded image to the storage/services folder of my laravel5.4 app. The code that stored it:
$image = request()->file('image'); $ext = $image->guessClientExtension(); $filename = '_'.$service->id.$title.'.'.$ext; $image->storeAs('public/services/', $filename); it went through cos I can see it when I navigate to the folder.
I have tried the following ways to access it: created a symlink thus: php artisan storage:link img src="{{ url('storage/images/'.$article->image) }}" alt="" title="" /> but it didn't work. what did I not do right?
Pls I need help. Thank you.

You will need to create a symbolic link.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/filesystem
To create the symbolic link, you may use the
storage:linkArtisan command:
php artisan storage:link

i have created a symbolic link already

The public disk / local driver stores the files in storage/app/public. So storage/app/public/services/image.jpg would become asset('storage/services/image.jpg') in your view and you would store it with storeAs('services', 'image.jpg')
