Media Storage

Media storage allow uploaded files to be collected in domain or workspace specific categories. This can be particularly use for multi-tenant and multi-domain applications where storage limits, disk, locations, etc. maybe dependent on the authenticated user or the request context.

For ease of use, you may configure preset storages accessible by name.

$storage = Storage::get('app');

Where app is preconfigured and created in database if it does not exist.

Active storage

You can easily switch between storages with the use method. Any storage of choice can be set in use at any point, including in your app middleware.

Storage::use('app');

// or
Storage::use($storageId);

// or
$storage = Storage::get($storageId);
Storage::use($storage);

// or
Storage::createAndUse([
  'name' => 'Products',
  'disk' => 's3',
  ...
]);

Once in use, file uploads and folder creation are by default stored in the active storage.

Get active

In-use storages can be retrieved using the active method.

$storage = Storage::active();
