title: Laravel check if storage exists is not working
body: <p>I'm trying to check if file already exist in the storage by</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(Storage::exists($request-&gt;file_name)):
      dd(var_dump("it did exist"));
  else:
      dd(var_dump("it did not exist"));
  endif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it always return a string "it did exist" even though the file is actually deleted or the file did not exist, any ideas, help?</p>
  
  <p>I'm sure there's no problem on my storage location set up as I'm having no problem when uploading a file to the storage,</p>
  
  <pre><code>Storage::put($file_name, File::get($file));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PS: I'm on Laravel 5.0</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>here's my filesystems.php from the config folder of my Laravel 5.0</p>
