How to properly store images in Laravel?

Question

Laravel

$user_id  = 1; // 1..... 20000
$storage_url = Storage::disk('public')->put("userfiles/$user_id", $file, 'public');

When creating the userfiles/1 folder, I get the error Impossible to create the root directory

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Make a check. If the folder does not exist, create it.

if(!Storage::exists($path)){
    Storage::makeDirectory($path);
}
