Well, as a Software Engineer myself, here is what I had to do to resolve mine.
Run "php artisan storage:link" without the quotes
After linking, run "php artisan key:generate" also without the quotes.
Then, in the root of your project, run "chmod 775" without the quotes for the following directories
- bootstrap/cache
- public/storage
- storage
- storage/framework/
- storage/framework/cache
- storage/framework/cache/data
- storage/framework/sessions
- storage/framework/views
- storage/logs
This should resolve your issues. If you still experience it, kindly share and I might assist further.
