I have a situation where i need to build Rest APIs for the iOS and other apps using Laravel passport. And i also have a web app. this web app and API app located on different servers. They are sharing same database and hence i need to share storage as well. So i would like to upload files through API to the web apps storage folder.

I don't want to use any external storage service.

do i need to create some custom drive for this? something like - 

's3' => [
    'driver' => 's3',
    'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
    'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
    'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'),
    'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
    'url' => env('AWS_URL'),
],

How do i accomplish this? Need guidance.

Thanks.

You could create your own disk based on the local driver. For example, add the following to your disks array in filesystems.php.

'mystoragedisk' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => '/path/to/storage/on/server',
]

You could then either change the default storage disk to your new one, or call the disk method when storing or retrieving files.
