Laravel 5 Filesystem confusion

upload

/*
 * By default, the storage path for local is set to |storage_path() . '/app'| which means
 * when you use |Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Factory| contract and do something like
 * $storage->disk('local')->get('temp/' . $filename) you are effectively working within
 * |storage/app/temp| not |storage/temp| as you might have expected. Because you might
 * think to move a file with |$request->file('image)->move(storage_path('temp'), $filename))|
 * this will fail because storage_path() returns the storage directory (storage/), not
 * |storage/app|
 *
 * Something like the following works but is VERY ugly.
