Загрузка файла Laravel 5.0 с использованием Storage API всегда возвращает Forbidden

Я новичок в Laravel и пытаюсь загрузить изображения на свой веб-сайт с помощью Storage API, но laravel всегда возвращает «Запрещено» после отправки формы.

Вот моя форма (add_company.blade.php):

{!! Form::model($company = new App\Models\Setting\Organization\Company, ['method' => 'POST', 'action' => 'Setting\Organization\CompaniesController@store', 'files'=>true]) !!}

<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('CompanyCode', 'Company Code : ', ['class' => 'col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-3']) !!}

<div class="col-lg-9 col-md-9 col-sm-9 col-xs-9">
{!! Form::text('CompanyCode', $company->autoGenerateCode(), ['class' => 'form-control', 'readonly' => true]) !!}
</div>

</div>

<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('Name', 'Company Name : ', ['class' => 'col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-3']) !!}

<div class="col-lg-9 col-md-9 col-sm-9 col-xs-9">
{!! Form::text('Name', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>

</div>

<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('Logo', 'Company Logo : ', ['class' => 'col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-3']) !!}

<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-3">
<span class="btn btn-default btn-file form-control">
Browse {!! Form::file('Logo', ['class' => 'form-control', 'id' => 'logo']) !!}
</span>
</div>

</div>

<div class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 col-sm-2 col-xs-2">
{!! Form::submit('Add Company', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}

Вот метод хранения в моем контроллере (App \ Http \ Controllers \ Setting \ Organization \ CompaniesController):

public function store(CompanyRequest $request){
if (Request::file('Logo')->isValid())
{
$file = Request::file('Logo');
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$newFilename = $request->CompanyCode . "_logo";
Storage::disk('local')->put($newFilename . '.' . $extension,  File::get($file));

$request->Logo = $newFilename;
}

Company::create($request->all());
flash()->success('Company ' . $request->Name . ' Added.');
return redirect('company');
}

Laravel не дает никаких ошибок, но всегда возвращает «Запрещено» каждый раз, когда я отправляю свою форму.
Я ничего не менял ни в config / filesystems.php, ни в public / .htaccess.

Пожалуйста, помогите, я уже прочитал много постов о загрузке файлов в Laravel 5, но не нашел ответа. Большое спасибо!

РЕДАКТИРОВАТЬ :

Я попробовал предложение @MikeMiller, загрузив файл в общую папку и дав разрешение на эту папку, но laravel по-прежнему возвращает «Запрещено». Где я ошибаюсь?

public function store(CompanyRequest $request){
if (Input::file('Logo')->isValid())
{
chmod("/public/", 0755);
chmod("/public/uploaded_images/", 0755);
mkdir("/public/uploaded_images/" . $request->CompanyCode, 0755);

$destinationPath = '/public/uploaded_images/' . $request->CompanyCode; // upload path
$extension = Input::file('Logo')->getClientOriginalExtension(); // getting image extension
$fileName = $request->CompanyCode . '_logo.' . $extension; // renaming image
Input::file('Logo')->move($destinationPath, $fileName); // uploading file to given path

$request->Logo = $fileName;
}

Company::create($request->all());
flash()->success('Company ' . $request->Name . ' Added.');
return redirect('company');
}

Вот мой каталог:

app
bootstrap
config
database
public
- bower_components
- css
- fonts
- images
- script
- uploaded_images
resources
storage
tests
vendor
