Images are not displayed in a Laravel application in production-CodePudding

I deployed a Laravel Application with Laravel Forge and works fine except when I upload images to show in the application. I use this code to create a new record in a table. This new record have an "image" field where the URL of the image is stored. And the image should be stored in the "categories" folder.

$categoryword = Category::create([
                'name' => $request->name,
                'slug' => $request->slug,
                'image' => Storage::put('categories', $request->file('image')),
                'description' => $request->description,
                'body' => $request->body,
                'example' => $request->example,
                'exception' => $request->exception,
                'type' => "Ortographic Rules",
                'clasification' => "Words",
                'user_id' => auth()->user()->id
            ]);

Also, this is the code to show the image in a blade view:

<img id="image" name="image" src="{{ asset("storage/$categoryword->image")}}" alt="" height="400px" width="700px"/>

Locally, it works properly and images can be viewed. But when I try to upload a new record with an Image in production server with Laravel Forge I have this error:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

In the production server I use:

php artisan storage:link

But when I enter to the public folder and enter to "storage" folder, that folder is empty.

But if I go to the "storage" folder which is in the same level of "public" folder inside my production server and I enter to that folder I have this three files:

app                  framework           logs

And inside of "app" folder I have this two files:

public                 categories

So, "categories" folder where the images I upload are stored is in this location but I cannot show the images that I upload. How can I fix that and make the "storage" folder of "public" folder contains this "categories" folder? Sorry for my English

I guess the problem was in the filesystems disk, so go to .env and change FILESYSTEM_DISK=local to FILESYSTEM_DISK=public. Don't forget to add name of disk like that

Storage::disk('public')->put('categories', $request->file('image');
