I'm using Laravel 5.0 Facades Storage

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

and I can use it like

Storage::..

In the Laravel 5.0 Docs,there's nothing like rename a file or folder from the storage.

Any help, ideas, clues, suggestions, recommendations on how to rename a file or folder using the Storage?

Laravel Docs

The move method may be used to rename or move an existing file to a new location:

Storage::move('hodor/file1.jpg', 'holdthedoor/file2.jpg');

this way, you can rename without moving

Storage::move('hodor/oldfile-name.jpg', 'hodor/newfile-name.jpg'); // keep the same folder to just rename

You can rename directories using

Storage::rename('oldFolder/', 'newFolder/');

Was looking for an answer to this question. Both using rename and move for renaming a folder doesn't work. Any ideas?

Well, I had almost the same issue but i solved it like this: rename($path, $newPath) using the built-in php function rename(),and guess what, everything worked like a charm!

You need to consider that in Laravel the directory or file may not be local. In those cases rename would not work.
