Configure Secure Storage

When To Use

Use this skill when implementing avatar uploads, invoice attachments, document storage, or configuring AWS S3/minio disks.

Workflow

1. Verify disk rules: Ensure disk driver config is defined in config/filesystems.php.
2. Access Control check: Never use the public disk for documents that require authentication/authorization policies.
3. Generate temporary URL: Serve private documents using temporary URLs (Storage::temporaryUrl()).
4. Clean files: Clean up orphaned or failed file uploads via event-based disk cleanup jobs.
