title: Cannot download file from storage folder in laravel 5.4
body: <p>I have store the file in storage/app/files folder by <code>$path=$request-&gt;file-&gt;store('files')</code> and save the path "files/LKaOlKhE5uITzAbRj5PkkNunWldmUTm3tOWPfLxO.doc" it in a table's column name <code>file</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have also linked storage folder to public through <code>php artisan storage:link</code>.</p>
  
  <p>In my view blade file, I put this </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="@if(count($personal_information)) {{asset('storage/'.$personal_information-&gt;file)}} @endif" download&gt;Download File&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the link for download file is <code>http://localhost:8000/storage/files/LKaOlKhE5uITzAbRj5PkkNunWldmUTm3tOWPfLxO.doc</code></p>
  
  <p>But I get the error </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If I add <code>/app</code> after the <code>/storage</code> it gives the same error. How can I download file from my <code>storage/app/files</code> folder?</p>
