If you are using Laravel then below command will create symbolic link in public folder:

php artisan storage:link

While I am using Lumen 8.0 on Mac and Linux machines. I did not find any solution for lumen but we can create symbolic link by using full/complete path in command line:

ln -s /var/www/storage/app /var/www/public/storage

This solution worked for me. I hope, this will also help you. Thanks to ask this question.
