File uploads correctly but when trying in view throws 404

Hello. I suppose I may be missing something very basic, but I cannot find the solution. I am using Spatie Media Library to manage the PDF's that my application users can upload. I have created this:

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('notary_doc_file')
    ->collection('notaryDocFiles')
    ->disk('public')
    ->directory('notaryDocFiles')
    ->preserveFilenames()
    ->downloadable()
    ->openable()
    ->maxSize(4096)
    ->acceptedFileTypes(['application/pdf'])
    ->columnSpanFull(),

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('notary_doc_file')
    ->collection('notaryDocFiles')
    ->disk('public')
    ->directory('notaryDocFiles')
    ->preserveFilenames()
    ->downloadable()
    ->openable()
    ->maxSize(4096)
    ->acceptedFileTypes(['application/pdf'])
    ->columnSpanFull(),

It uploads the file correctly and I can see it in storage\app\public\3\name_of_pdf_file.pdf. But when I go to the view form of the resource, and I click the link to download or to open it, it throws an error: Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. It is trying to open: http://localhost/storage/3/name_of_pdf_file.pdf Any hint of what I am doing wrong? By the way, my filesystems.php file has the default information:

'public' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
    'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
    'visibility' => 'public',
    'throw' => false,
],

'public' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
    'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
    'visibility' => 'public',
    'throw' => false,
],

I found one part of the solution, for the local environment. I am using windows and my local app url is ==> http://127.0.0.1:8000/ So I changed the localhost with that and it works. Then I went to .ENV file and put this: APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 Now it is working locally. In production, up in the cloud, it is not working. I am using Forge and I deploy, do the same as locally and it does not work. Same behaviour. It uploads perfectly, and I can see the pdf file inside the folder storage/app/public/3/name_of_pdf_file.pdf but the link tries to open: https://apps.geslem.com/storage/3/name_of_pdf_file.com And it thows a 404 this time. Up in the production server I used the php artisan storage:link command. Is happens with FileUpload, too.

FileUpload::make('document')
    ->preserveFilenames()
    ->disk('public')
    ->downloadable()
    ->openable()
    ->maxSize(4096)
    ->acceptedFileTypes(['application/pdf'])
    ->columnSpanFull()
,

FileUpload::make('document')
    ->preserveFilenames()
    ->disk('public')
    ->downloadable()
    ->openable()
    ->maxSize(4096)
    ->acceptedFileTypes(['application/pdf'])
    ->columnSpanFull()
,

It uploads correctly, I can see the file in the storage\app\public folder the symlink has been made, but no results. For certain that it must be something I am missing. Well, after a lot of struggle and testing I have found what happened. It looks as if the deployment script in my Forge account created the symlink badly. I had to delete the public/storage folder (with sudo permissions) and re-run php artisan storage:link That solves all the problem both with normal FileUpload and with SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload Nearly got crazy and hope it helps someone else.
