    Please, try like this,

        $file = $request->file('photo');
    $file_ex = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
    $filename = time().rand(1,99).'.'.$file_ex;
    $path ='images/users';

    $file->move(public_path($path),$filename);

    first run this command to generate symbolic link

    php artisan storage:link

    then in controller function

    $fileTemp = $request->file('file');
if($fileTemp->isValid()){
  $fileExtension = $fileTemp->getClientOriginalExtension();
  $fileName = Str::random(4). '.'. $fileExtension;
  $path = $fileTemp->storeAs(
    'public/documents', $fileName
  );
}

    above code will save your file in storage/app/public/documents location
    and using symbolic link we can access this file here public/storage/documents
