I think your issue is caused because you are already returning before the store() call so the file is not actually saved.
Also, Laravel's documentation has instructions on a suggested way of setting up public disk so that everything can be neat in the storage folder by creating a symlink between /public/storage to /storage/app/public but you can change the location as needed. once you point the public disk in your filesystem config file to the new symlinked path then you can try the following code:
if($req->hasFile('image'))
{
// This line will save and then returns the saved file name
return $req->file('image')->store('/images','public');
}
If what you are trying to do is to save the uploaded file with the same name instead of the default hashed name then you can use the storeAs() method instead like so:
if($req->hasFile('image'))
{
$uploadedFile = $req->file('image');
// This line will save with same name and then returns the saved file name
return $uploadedFile->storeAs('/images', $uploadedFile->getClientOriginalName(),'public');
}
