Save image's
Hi
I am building an api and a cms system. the api is built with luman and the cms is laravel.
I need to insert and update data from my cms system and users to access the data from the api.
The question is what to do when i need to store images. i can't store it in the cms website/system public or storage folder because users need to have access to the image's from the api.
should i save the image to the database? did anyone faced a slimier issue ?

A clean way to go about it would be to have a bucket on some cloud storage like Amazon AWS S3 or so and use Flysystem to put it there and get it from there .
https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/filesystem#storing-files
but make sure you install the dependencies listed there.

@primo Like @EventFellows says, store uploads in an off-site service like Amazon S3.
