Uploading a file on laravel and making it publicly accessible.

I'm trying to upload a file using the following; $path = $request->file('logo_upload')->store('institute_logos'); Now, any file I upload gets stored to /path/to/my/laravel/project/storage/app/institute_logos and not to the /path/to/my/laravel/project/storage/app/public/institute_logos/ directory (using which I can make the file accessible publicly from the web).

mime type changed when uploading file

If I upload a .mp3 file with a different frequency encoding it will change the mime type. So if its 3200Khz it would change it to .bin. If its 4400 Khz it would change it too .mpa. So not sure how to fix this so that when I upload the file it doesn't change the extension. It should always stay as mp3
