Laravel - link to a file saved in storage folder

Question

When we do something like this:

Storage::disk('local')->put('file.txt', 'Contents');

How do you make a link to that file in a view? Something like this:

<a href="path_to_file.txt">Download File</a>

there are so many things in documentation and yet not even one example how to create a link to that file

Answer 1

Try this command on your terminal : php artisan storage:link, then laravel storage become public access.

<a href="{{url('/')}}/{{ Storage::disk('local')->url('file.txt')}}">Download File</a>
