I’m looking for a way to view the images contained in a private folder in storage: here is the asset storage/app/private/images/nomefile.jpg my problem is that I would like to view the images only via asset blade and not view them via the full path of the URL, this is because I would like them not to be public but only viewable in the app after authentication, so via asset() there is a way. I’ve tried them all but I can’t, here’s the code:

Controller :

$request->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpg,jpeg,png|max:8000'
        ]);
  $imageName = time() . '.' . $request->image->getClientOriginalExtension();

            $request->image->store('images', 'private');

            $imageName = $request->file('image')->hashName();

            $safeImageName = htmlspecialchars($imageName, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

            DB::table('aree')->where('id_area', $id)->update(['photo' => $safeImageName]

Blade :

<img src="{{ asset('storage/images/' . $item->photo) }}" alt="Shape2503" />

web.php for block url

Route::get('/storage/images/{path}', [ImageController::class, 'show'])->name('image.show');

controller for block url

public function show($path)
    {
        $path = storage_path('storage/images/'. $path);

        return abort(401);
    }

help me please
