FileNotFoundException; file does not exist Laravel 5 Storage Upload, issue only on server side

I am trying to use Laravel 5's Storage::disk()->putFile() method to upload images to my server. When I use php artisan serve locally, the image uploads successfully to the local disk. When I upload to the server side, it says the file does not exist. I have tried setting the max post and upload size to 20MB, using php artisan storage:link, and using s3 and public instead of the local disk but nothing has seemed to work.

Here is my method:

    public function api_create(Request $request)
{
    try {
        $requestData = $request->all();
        $uniqueFileID = Storage::disk('local')->putFile('product_media', new File($requestData["imageCode"]));
        $requestData["imageCode"] = $uniqueFileID;
        Image::create($requestData);
        return "true";
    } catch (Exception $exception) {
        return "false";
    }

}

Here is my error:

local.ERROR: Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\Exception\FileNotFoundException: The file "/Users/drewgallagher/Downloads/download.png" does not exist in /home/52064-43928.cloudwaysapps.com/wrdddnmtvz/public_html/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/File/File.php:37

I usually get File does not exist when my storage folder permissions are wrong. The instructions from user "Bgies" on this page is what I use to fix my permission issues: laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/…. Files to 644, and folders to 755 – Hollings

My issue ended up being that when I was using PostMan for testing and when I was running my frontend request, I was only sending the file path, and not the file with the right header. That is why the backend wasn't getting the right file param.

You should try this may be work for you:

public function api_create(Request $request)
{
  try {
      $requestData = $request->all();
      $uploadedFile = public_path() . '/uploads/' . $requestData["imageCode"];

      if(file_exists($uploadedFile)) {
        $uniqueFileID = Storage::disk('local')->putFile('product_media', file_get_contents($uploadedFile));
        $requestData["imageCode"] = $uniqueFileID;
        Image::create($requestData);
        return "true";
      } else{
        return "false";
      }
  } catch (Exception $exception) {
      return "false";
  }
}
