laravel - How can I download fIles

Question

I created a page where I can upload files to "/storage/app/public/uploads". I have a download button, which works fine on my XAMPP test environment. As I uploaded the project to the server, I still can upload files. They also go to the same directory "/storage/app/public/uploads". But when I want to download them, the download-path is /storage/uploads/ and I get a 404 error. But this is also on my XAMPP. in my /config/filesystems.php i have 'disks' => [

    'local' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app'),
    ],

    'public' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
        'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
        'visibility' => 'public',
    ],

 'links' => [
    public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
 ],

]

I have no clue, what's wrong, because on my XAMPP it's fine. Any idea?

Run php artisan storage:link on server to fix it.
