I can update images manually in database but not through my live site. This is my upload manager

public function fileUpload(ImageRequest $request)
{
    $strategy = $request->get('strategy', 'images');

    if (!$request->hasFile('image')) {
        return $this->response->json([
            'success' => false,
            'error' => 'no file found.',
        ]);
    }

    $path = $strategy . '/' . date('Y') . '/' . date('m') . '/' . date('d');

    $result = $this->manager->store($request->file('image'), $path);

    return $this->response->json($result);
}

You should change permission on the server save image folder — Amit Senjaliya, Feb 04 '19 at 07:45
@AmitSenjaliya Your comment led me to find the actual problem, I had the wrong permissions but for the link between storage folders. Thank you. — ekor, Mar 05 '19 at 04:49

Try changing

$image = Image::make($currentImage['relative_url']);

with

$image = Input::file($currentImage['relative_url']);

and then after that

 $filename    = $image->getClientOriginalName();
 Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize('200','200')->save($filename);

Thanks to one of the comments above and this post I found the solution. In case anyone ever finds this looking for an answer, my problem was that I created a sym link using

php artisan storage:link

but the link created had the wrong permissions and belonged to the wrong user group. After setting the correct permissions(775) I was able to set it to the correct user group by running this from my public folder.

sudo chown www-data:www-data storage
