I have successfully generated a temporary link in laravel which works correctly locally but when I try to generate a link via Storage::temporaryUrl for the production environment, it does not work. The error message is this “This driver does not support creating temporary URLs.”
The link works only with Storage::URL, but when I try to access it I get an Access Denied because it does not have a temporary key.
I was wondering if there is a way to generate a temporary URL for the link with temporary key.

Heya,
Just came across this answer and decided to write some general guidelines for anyone who comes across this in the future despite the old question.
The message you’re seeing, “This driver does not support creating temporary URLs”, commonly appears when you’re trying to create a temporary URL using a storage driver that doesn’t support this function. With Laravel, temporary URLs are only supported by the S3 driver.
If you’re using the local or public driver on your production environment, you’d end up seeing this error message. To resolve this, you’ll need to switch your production environment storage driver to S3 or come up with a custom method of generating the temporary URLs.
Note: The Access Denied error when using Storage::URL suggests that the permissions on the S3 bucket might not be set up correctly.
For further information, please refer to this Laravel documentation on file storage.
Hope that this helps!
