If you can afford the downtime then just put your site into maintenance mode and migrate storage folder and database dump. If not then let's worry about that when you answer if you need it.

Migrating from shared hosting to Laravel Forge/Digital Ocean
I have an eLearning platform running on Namecheap shared hosting and now want to migrate to forge using digital ocean, how can I migrate all the existing info ie image, videos stored in the storage and my database to laravel forge?

@bugsysha I can afford 24 hours downtime

Create a vagrant or docker setup on your local machine that matches the production and just deploy the code, copy the contents of storage directory and restore the database and see if everything works. If it works then you can follow the same steps on Digital Ocean and you are good to go.

Is this a question or you stating what you are going to do now?

@bugsysha sorry for the grammatical errors. I meant I have managed to sort out the DB side of things and still stuck on moving the storage folder to forge.

I guess you do not want any help with that since you didn't describe what the problem is that you are facing?
