You need to import Storage class because it's a facade.

Add:

use Storage;

at top of your controller.

For example:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Storage;

class YourController {
   ...
}

you can also do : 

$disk = \Storage::disk('s3');

Means you must prepend \ before the storage
