Answer 1

First of all in the .env file create a variable named FILESYSTEM_DRIVER and set it to public like this

FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=public

and then create symbolic link by run

php artisan storage:link

after that just use asset()

<img src="{{ asset('storage/'.$cv->photo) }}" alt="...">

It'll work fine 😊

Answer 2

The public disk is intended for files that are going to be publicly accessible. By default, the public disk uses the local driver and stores these files in storage/app/public. To make them accessible from the web, you should create a symbolic link from public/storage to storage/app/public. Laravel doc
