FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package laravel-storage-explorer
Laravel Storage Explorer
A visual file manager for Laravel storage. Browse directories, preview files, upload, download, and delete - all from a clean, responsive UI. Built with Blade + Alpine.js, zero external dependencies.
Screenshots
Features
- Directory tree with lazy-loading and expand/collapse
- File preview for text, code, JSON, CSV, images, and log files with color-coded severity levels
- Tail preview for large files (shows last 64KB instead of failing)
- File upload with drag & drop and progress bar
- Create folders directly from the UI
- File download via signed URLs (5-minute expiry)
- File and directory deletion with confirmation
- Search across all files recursively
- Two modes: standalone page or embedded in your existing admin panel
- Configurable: disk, middleware, hidden patterns, blocked extensions, depth limits
- Secure: path traversal prevention, blocked dangerous uploads, signed downloads, CSRF protection
- Zero dependencies beyond Laravel itself (no Livewire, no npm build step)
Requirements
- PHP 8.1+
- Laravel 10, 11, 12, or 13
Installation
The package auto-registers via Laravel's package discovery. No additional setup required.
Quick Start
Visit /storage-explorer in your browser. Done.
Configuration
Publish the config to customize behavior:
All Options
Protecting with Middleware
Add authentication middleware in the config:
Or use a gate for fine-grained access:
Embedding in Your Admin Panel
Option 1: Config-based (recommended)
Set your layout in config/storage-explorer.php:
The package renders inside your layout with fully scoped CSS - no Tailwind CDN needed, no conflicts with Bootstrap or other frameworks.
Option 2: Manual include
In your Blade view:
Important: Keep standalone.enabled = true so the API routes are registered.
Option 3: Custom routes
Register routes manually in your routes/web.php with your own middleware:
Then set standalone.enabled = false in config to avoid duplicate routes.
Browsing Different Disks
By default the package browses the local disk. To browse other disks:
Publishing Views
Customize the UI by publishing views:
Views are published to resources/views/vendor/storage-explorer/.
Security
The package includes multiple security layers:
- Path traversal prevention - rejects
.., null bytes, URL-encoded traversal attempts - Signed download URLs - 5-minute expiry, prevents unauthorized direct file access
- Blocked upload extensions - PHP, shell scripts, executables blocked by default
- Configurable middleware - add
auth, gates, or custom middleware - CSRF protection - all write operations require CSRF token
- HTML escaping - log file preview escapes content before highlighting
Important: The default configuration has no authentication. Always add auth middleware in production.
Testing
The test suite covers:
- Unit tests for
StorageService(path validation, directory listing, search, file operations) - Unit tests for
FileTypeenum - Feature tests for all API endpoints (tree, preview, search, upload, download, delete)
- Security tests (path traversal vectors, blocked extensions, signed URLs)
