Laravel 5: How do you copy a local file to Amazon S3?

Question

I\'m writing code in Laravel 5 to periodically backup a MySQL database. My code thus far looks like this:

    $filename = \'database_backup_\'.date(\'G_a_m_d_y\         


        

Answer 1

I solved it in the following way:

$contents = \File::get($destination);
\Storage::disk('s3')
    ->put($s3Destination,$contents);

Sometimes we don't get the data using $contents = Storage::get($file); - storage function so we have to give root path of the data using Laravel File instead of storage path using Storage.
