Onces you have s3 configured in your storage, you can save a file like this:

$url = $file->store($path, 's3');

Storage::disk('s3')->put($path.'/'.$filename, $imageFile);

And you can get this image like this:

$url = Storage::disk('s3')->url($path);

Or if you want to have this safety option, that a link is valid only for a couple of minutes:

 $url = Storage::disk('s3')->temporaryUrl(
        $path, Carbon::now()->addMinutes(60)
    );

The key is, when you use AWS, you should not try to get the image it self, but a link to that image through aws. Also you should store this url into the database not the image itself. And you should display the image through that link.
