The general convention for utilising the public directory would be to create some subdirectory, generally assets in order to use the assets helper, and populate this deeper.
This is exactly what asset bundlers like vite will do and helps keep that initial namespace clean.
If you are using this to directly store images for a users profile, for instance, using a publicly accessible storage disk may be a more effective way of managing this content
What are the intentions of using the public profile folder for?
Maybe is there something you need to change in the .htaccess in the public folder. And maybe consider renaming your public/profile folder to another name.
Maybe first try to rename the folder to make sure that everything works as expected.
The problem is that the web server initially tries to open a directory or file at the specified URL with that name. And if the file or directory is not found, it passes the address processing to the Laravel application.
You can override this behavior by hardcoding the /profile URL to be handled only by the Laravel application.
Example Apache 2 configuration so that Laravel processes all URLs starting with /profile (/profile/styles.css, /profile/script.js, etc.):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/profile
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
An example Apache2 configuration so that Laravel only processes the URL /profile, and /profile/** would display the contents of files or directories:
# If you want the URL to be without the trailing slash
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/profile/?$
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
