Migrating to Laravel Cloud

Hello,

I am in the process of migrating a site from Forge/Digital Ocean to Laravel Cloud. Laravel Cloud seems pretty easy to set up and use, however, I am not sure how to migrate existing files in the storage/app folder to a new bucket created on Laravel Cloud . I am not using S3 on the current server set up. All the files are stored on the web server under storage/app folder. They are about 10gb.

Thank you.

Since you're moving to an S3-compatible bucket on Cloud, the cleanest way to handle 10GB is using rclone directly from your Forge server. Install rclone: sudo apt install rclone
