File Uploads Testing [gotcha]

So about a week ago I was testing a file manager package. I got it working and was going through the paces of uploading and deleting files and directories. Things seemed to be working ok so I moved on to something else and pretty much forgot I was looking at that package. This morning, I started working on a file repository. For whatever reason, I opened up Laravel's storage/ap
