laravel 8.17.1 profile-photos in public storage file not getting propagated

[rhoyle]

• Laravel Version: 8.17.1
• PHP Version: 7.4.10
• Database Driver & Version:

Description:

not able to see profile-photos the photos shows up in the storage/public/profile-photos file and in the database but not in the public/storage/profile-photos file and therefore not in the dashboard header either.

Steps To Reproduce:

I just did the normal Laravel new project name --jer
registered and went to the profile page to choose a photo the initial photo showed up but after saving it I just got my name. and know photo. when I checked the database the profile_photo_path was there so I went to the storage\app\ and found a livewire-temp file with a image in it. Next I went to the storage\app\public\profile-photos folder and it to had a image in it. But when I went to public\Storage\Profile-photos it was empty. so I then ran the php artisan storage:link command but it said that the "link already exists".
now what? why is it not putting the image in the public folder? what do I nave to do to get it to do so? if I copy the image from the storage folder to the public folder it works just fine. It seems to me that the automatic copy function is not working.

PS this did work in Laravel 8.12.3 just fine.

I don't know if this matters but check to confirm if the referenced folder names in your config/filesystems.php file are identical to the actual folder names in your app. Maybe you have public\Storage\Profile-photos instead of public\storage\profile-photos. Capital 'P' and 'S' instead of 'p' and 'S'.
