You specified that it should be in the public disc, so it will be in /storage/app/public/uploads. — Qirel

By default laravel stores file in storage folder. If you want your image file need to be accessible publicly then you need to create symbolic link.

refer this Laravel public disk

put the folder link path in config/filesystems.php

public_path('storage/uploads') => storage_path('app/public/uploads')

Run artisan command to create symbolic link

php artisan storage:link

Here you can refer my another detailed answer for symbolic link uploading file publicly accessible

On your config/filesystems.php file, search for public_uploads and update the root to public_path() . '/uploads' and that must do the trick

@Daniel Mordi remember this is not a good approach. This way all your files will be directly uploaded in public folder and it will have security flaws if you dont want all files to publicly accessible.

There is a way to bypass this and put them in Storage as well

@workservice And why would you do it that way, instead of just using the native public disc with Laravel? Storing them outside public, and using a symlink is the best and standard practice for a reason..
