I am done with a Laravel project and I plan to host it on AWS EC2. I am still learning how that works. My project includes file uploading. I upload my files in Laravel's public folder. Similarly, I store some images in the public folder and use laravel's asset function in the img tag to retrieve it. I am worried nonetheless that these paths would not be recognized when I host my application. Am I using the correct directory to store my images and uploaded files?

If not which local directory should the images and files be stored?

public folder is correct and it will automatically access in images just in case if your images not accessible then you need to run a command php artisan storage:link it will link your folder as storage and then you need to make storage folder permission to 777 then it will work.
