How to Save Image Paths in Laravel Storage After Upload

When building applications with Laravel, file uploads are a common feature that many developers implement. However, one question that tends to come up frequently is about how to properly save image paths after an upload. Instead of just getting the file name, you might want to save a structured path that reflects the organization of your files.

This guide will walk you through the solution to ensure that uploaded image paths are saved correctly in your Laravel storage.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Implementing this practice can enhance your project significantly, making it easier for you and your team to collaborate and manage files effectively.
