Image saved always empty with Storage::put in Laravel

Question

I am trying to save a file using Storage::put but it always saves an empty image file and I don't understand why.The file I try to save is base64 encoded.

Here is my code:

  $image = str_replace('data:image/png;base64,', '', $file);
  $image = str_replace(' ', '+', $image);
  $decodedFile = base64_decode($image);


  // Image Size
  $size = strlen($decodedFile);

  // Image Mime Type
  $f = finfo_open();
    $mimeType = finfo_buffer($f, $decodedFile, FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
  finfo_close($f);

  // Extension
  $extension = explode('.', $filename)[1];
  $error = null;
  $test = $public;

  // Save file locally
  Storage::put('tmp/temporary', $decodedFile);

  $object = new UploadedFile($url, $filename, $mimeType, $size, $error, $test);

This is what I get as result, size is always 0

UploadedFile {#307 ▼

-originalName: "wassho-omni-shoreham-hotel-marquee-lounge.jpg"

Someone knows what I am doing wrong here?

In the end, it was not completely clear to me why, but exchanging Storage::put function with file_put_contents($url, $decodedFile); function solved the issue, and it saved the file without a hitch using above code.
