Laravel's filesystem abstraction, accessed via the Storage facade, supports local disks, S3, and other drivers configured in config/filesystems.php. Uploaded files can be stored with $request->file('avatar')->store('avatars'), and Storage::url() generates public URLs for accessible files. Symbolic links (php artisan storage:link) expose the public disk.
