FileUpload working perfectly locally but in production server throws 404 only when retrieving file

Hello. I have this code:

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('notary_doc_file')
    ->label(__('notary_doc_file'))
    ->preserveFilenames()
    ->disk('public')
    ->downloadable()
    ->openable()
    ->maxSize(4096)
    ->acceptedFileTypes(['application/pdf'])
    ->columnSpanFull()

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('notary_doc_file')
    ->label(__('notary_doc_file'))
    ->preserveFilenames()
    ->disk('public')
    ->downloadable()
    ->openable()
    ->maxSize(4096)
    ->acceptedFileTypes(['application/pdf'])
    ->columnSpanFull()

And in config\filesystems.php disks:

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

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

And locally everything works fine. It uploads the file to storage\app\public\upload\1 folder, and in production it works too. But, the problem comes when I want to "look at" the file. I have the ->openable() to let user open the PDF file. The links are: LOCALLY: http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/upload/1/FileName.pdf and it works perfectly. IN PRODUCTION SERVER: https://apps.geslem.com/storage/upload/1/FileName.pdf and it THROWS A 404 NOT FOUND when trying to OPEN or DOWNLOAD the file. I am using Forge to deploy, the storage:link is created (in fact, the uploads works correctly). I have tried many thing with no success. Any ideas, please, of what I am doing wrong? Tks.

Solution:

Solved. You were right. Symlink was "broken" or something strange. I deleted the storage folder and generate symlink again and solved....

Your symlink is probably wrong on the server. Have you tried using disk('public')->directory('upload') with the default public disk configuration (ie: without adding /upload in the filesystems.php config)

Same result. I have changed what you mention, have tested locally and OK but again problems in the server. Upload is Ok, but open or download 404 NOT FOUND
