Upload files to multiple folders

So, to upload files to multiple folders add the following code inside your controller.

                                                    
                                                                                                                
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UploadController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Upload files
    */
    public function uploadFile(Request $request) {
        //save file into multiple folders
        $file = $request->file('file');
        $this->saveImageForBackup($file);
        $this->saveImageForUser($file);
        
        return redirect()->back()->with([
            'message' => 'Picture uploaded successfully',
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Save image for user
     */
    public function saveImageForUser($file)
    {
        $file_name = time().'_'.'picture'.'_'.$file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->storeAs('user/images/', $file_name, 'public');
    }

    /**
     * Save image for backup
     */
    public function saveImageForBackup($file)
    {
        $file_name = time().'_'.'picture'.'_'.$file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->storeAs('backup/images/', $file_name, 'public');
    }
}
