Unable to save files in production server

Hi, im trying to save user inserted images to my storage but it is not working.

• File saving on local server works fine ( im using Laragon)
• When i initially deployed project, image upload was working, but when i tried to set up file permissions according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30639174/how-to-set-up-file-permissions-for-laravel it stopped working and i don't know how to get it working again

File upload snippet:

$file->storeAs("/public/all_users/".Auth::id()."/", "profile_image.".$file->getClientOriginalExtension());

I also tried another way to save files:

Storage::put("public/storage/all_users/".Auth::id()."/profile_image.".$file->getClientOriginalExtension() , $file);

I also use database to get path to image and display, it is working as intended. Laravel is unable to write to my all_users folder (using filezila i confirmed that)

• I don't get any errors
• Website is hosted on DigitalOcean droplet ubuntu 20.04
• My absolute path to all_users folder: /var/www/MYPROJECT/public/storage/all_users/user_id/ image.jpg
