I'm currently in the learning curve of Laravel. I was wondering if there is a way using the Storage::
in Laravel to access files from another harddrive (using Windows).
Example, I've got Xampp with Laravel setup on drive C:, but I want to access files on E: outside of website directory. I've tried using Storage::files('E:')
and File::files('E:')
but that clearly doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.
Not tested this myself, but from the documentation page, i take it you need to edit the filesystem.php
config file to something like:
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app'),
],
'partitionE' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => 'E:/', // not really sure about this
]
// the rest of it
];
And then accessing files like
Storage::disk('partitionE')->put('file.txt', 'Contents');
If all this fails, you could go with a symlink
and create a link to your E:
inside your project folder.
