Quick Tip

Create custom disks at runtime

Did you know that you can create custom disks at runtime without the need to have the config in your config/filesystems file?

This can be handy to manage files in custom paths without the need of adding them to the config.

$avatarDisk = Storage::build([
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/avatars'),
]);
$avatarDisk->put('user_avatar.jpg', $image);
