Laravel file upload name is incorrect

Question

If i do the following with file example.jpg the storage file is getting a random name. How can i give it the example.jpg name?

Storage::disk('local')->put('test', $request->file('file') )

This works, but how can i specify a disk?

    $file = request()->file('files');
    $file->storeAs('test',$request->file('files')->getClientOriginalName());

From the docs,

If you would not like a file name to be automatically assigned to your stored file, you may use the storeAs method, which receives the path, the file name, and the (optional) disk as its arguments:

$file->storeAs('test', $request->file('files')->getClientOriginalName(), 'local');
