Answer 1

Just in case your down here still without an answer.

I had trouble because I did the symlink locally, then copied the files to the server. In order to make it work I did the following:

$  cd path/to/laravel/root

// if public does not exist, first create it.
$  cd public

// if public/storage does not exist, first create it.
$  rm -r storage

$  cd ..

// Now it should work
$  php artisan storage:link
