How to change the location where the files are saved?

Question

Laravel

Image save code

$request->file('cover_image')->storeAs('/storage/cover_images', $fileNameToStore);

and the folder tree (lsapp has everything except the public folder, and public_html is the same public)

The problem is that when the folder structure changes to this, the files are saved in lsapp/storage/app/storage/cover_image
But it should be in public_html/storage/cover_image
When trying to change the save folder to

$request->file('cover_image')->storeAs('../../storage/cover_images', $fileNameToStore);

gives
Path is outside of the defined root, path: [../../storage/cover_images/123_1525452472.jpg]
