title: Does Laravel have a convention for a local permanent uploaded file storage location?
body: <p>I have some forms that allow the user to upload files that only they can view so I will have to store them somewhere. However, I haven't been able to find any information about where these files would usually be stored if I want them to be kept on the local server. Therefore I have to assume that there is no convention for the permanent storage location of uploaded files. Am I correct in this assumption? </p>
  
  <p>To be clear, I'm not talking about temporary storage locations.</p>
  
  <p>Additionally, would it be a bad idea to have the storage location of all the files as a subfolder of the app directory (with gitignore enabled on it)? Or would it be a better idea to have it outside of the app folder? Thanks!</p>
