File upload refers to the process of transferring a file from a local system to a remote system, typically via the Internet. It can be used to send documents, photos, videos, and other types of files. The file upload process usually involves selecting a file, clicking the upload button, and waiting for the upload to complete. Depending on the size of the file, the upload can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes.

MDB File Upload Plugin works just like a regular input with type='file' You'll just need to add it to the form, allow the user submitting it to the server and handle it on the server-side. This is a code I've found for you and modified to include File Upload Plugin.

  1. Create a form in your blade template with an input element of type file:

    <form action="{{ route('file.upload') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      @csrf
      <input
        type="file"
        id="input-file-now"
        class="file-upload-input"
        data-mdb-file-upload="file-upload"
        name='file'
      />
      <button type="submit">Upload</button>
    </form>
    
  2. Create a route in your web.php file that maps to a controller method that handles the file upload:

    Route::post('/file/upload', 'FileController@upload')->name('file.upload');
    
  3. Create a controller called FileController with a method called upload that will handle the file upload:

    <?php
    
    namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
    use Illuminate\Http\Request;
    
    class FileController extends Controller
    {
    public function upload(Request $request)
    {
        // Validate the uploaded file
        $request->validate([
            'file' => 'required|file|mimes:pdf,doc,docx|max:2048'
        ]);
    
        // Get the uploaded file
        $file = $request->file('file');
    
        // Save the file to a storage location
        $file->store('public/uploads');
    
        // Return a response
        return response()->json(['message' => 'File uploaded successfully']);
    }
    }
