Laravel Storage - for File Explorer app

Hi there. I'm pretty much completely new to Laravel. I've messed w/ it some, and completed most of the "Traversy" tutorial, but that's about it. Know how to use composer etc.

I have an age old PHP really basic "static file browser" app that I use to look at .html files, images, etc on my local dev sever. it's clunky and only reads one directory, so-- if i want to use it-- it has to reside in that directory.

I'm interested in digging into Laravel, and from what I've read, Laravel Storage might be the solution i'm looking for to re-build that app in my spare time.

Do you have a recommended starting point? Thanks!

Edit: I did find the Series laravel-8-from-scratch where episodes 11 is "Use the Filesystem Class to Read a Directory".

I realize my inquiry, above, is likely confusing.

To better understand what I wish to refactor using Laravel, have at look at the basic prototype in its current state: https://wordpresscenter.net/adb/index.php

Thank in advance for you thoughtful advisory! I'm looking forward to expanding my Laravel skills in 2024. Resolutions!

Cheers!
