How to Store files

• i have already created a driver in filesystems.php that allow you to store files in a public assets folder
  you can use Storage::disk("assets")->put("file.txt","Some Content"); .
• to get the link of a stored files you can use two function :

+ Asset_url("filename") 
+ OR Asset_path("filename")

For example :
-Asset_url("file.txt") will give you http://youAppUrl.com/assets/file.txt
-Asset_path("file.txt") will give you assets/file.txt

- Note : You must change APP_URL in your .env FILE

Some problems that you may have

For some reason , if you create some route on your project and you want to access to it , maybe it will not work .
There is some solution for that :
-if you type http://localhost/myLaravelApp/myRoute it will not work , but if you changet to http://localhost/myLaravelApp/index.php/myRoute it will be work fine .

- Note : This problem only show on your windows local development , if youre using Linux or your uplouaded the project to a Shared Hosting , it will be work fine.

-The other solution is to enable AllowOverride in your php.ini , there is a link show you how you can do that http://www.anmsaiful.net/blog/php/enable-apache-rewrite-module.html
