I am trying to implement an api for my dummy mobile app and I am using MySQL and Laravel 5 for that. I want to store images that user posts from mobile client. I wonder, what is the best practice for storing these images. Any help would be appreciated.

I can suggest Intervention for dealing with image saving through Laravel.
