Storing images in public folder and serving them from controller in Laravel 5
Code4fun wrote a tutorial on how to store images in multiple folders and serve them from controller.
While working ony my first Laravel application http://imageshare.code4fun.io which was inspired from http://imgur.com I had to figure out how to best store the images in the public folder. Looking at imgur and the links it servers which look like this

I asumed that imgur was storing all those millions of images in a same folder so I proceded to do the same storing all uploaded images directly inside public folder. Later I did some research how many files you can have in a folder and if it would have any performance penalties the more files you had. I found out that you should definitly not store lots of images in the same folder.
