I have an admin template that I registered into an app from a purchase. The template is very well set up, and parts of it are written in Laravel. I'm able to register new users in my modification, but the user profile image is having problems. When a newly registered user is enacted, the file name is stored in the respective database. However, the image is not able to be displayed. I can even see the image name in the Google Chrome web tools when inspecting the app code. This image is being saved, it's just not displaying on the webpage (at least not on the sidebar).

@if (auth()->user()->profile->pic == null)
 <img src="asset('storage/uploads/users/no_avatar.jpg')" alt="user-img" class="img-circle">
@else
 <img src=" auth()->user()->profile->pic " alt="user-img" class="img-circle">
@endif

If there is something that I'm doing wrong, it must be a basic Laravel issue. I don't know how, but the image must be able to be taken from the database and shown in the view that I pull up or navigate to. If someone could tell me how to properly include the profile pic on the frontend view like any other Laravel app, it would help me a lot. Thank you.

In order to access your storage path you can use storage_path helper function instead of asset so your code should be:

storage_path('uploads/users/no_avatar.jpg');

and for the user that has uploaded picture, if you store the relative path to the picture stored in the public folder then you can use

 url(auth()->user()->profile->pic) 

if the value of auth()->user()->profile->pic is img/profile.jpg then you should have img folder containing profile.jpg within your project public directory.
