GD Library extension not available with your PHP installation.
try:

PHP5: sudo apt-get install php5-gd
PHP7.0: sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd
PHP7.1: sudo apt-get install php7.1-gd
PHP7.2: sudo apt-get install php7.2-gd
PHP7.3: sudo apt-get install php7.3-gd

you use docker then add into dockerfile:

RUN docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ --with-png-dir=/usr/include/
RUN docker-php-ext-install gd

or if you use imagick then checked imagick in phpinfo() is enabled? if not enabled then put extension=imagick into the php.init file

@hazem-taha it's probably related to some permission setting in your environment. If there is something that can be done in medialibrary to fix this, send a PR.

I also got the same issue... The upload logic works fine for some controllers but doesn't for others.

Hello
this issue happen to me also , but i figure out that, In my case i was adding same information twice in two different languages in two different database id for example english and arabic and each will have it is own record, and each record should be related to media table .
so the file was already moved from tmp/upload folder when the second record id try to access the file.
i manage this by adding preservingOriginal() to the first record id accessing the file
$user_en->addMedia($strorage_path)->preservingOriginal() ->toMediaCollection('posts');
then i removed it from the second record id
$user_lang->addMedia($strorage_path)->toMediaCollection('posts');

what i do was try to preserve the file in temp/uploads while the adding sequence still in progress. then remove it in the last record insertion.

that is because FileAdder class still accessing the file information when you move files from temp to media collection

I'm using Laravel 7.11 w/ PHP 7.4.5. The following code gives me an error like The file "/tmp/phpcCjOmG" does not exist when using FormRequest but, works fine with Illuminate\Http\Request.

$model->addMedia($request->file('image'))
            ->toMediaCollection();

@jinseokoh Man, you are right, it works, but I don't know how, if you have any reason about it then please share it.

@jinseokoh thanks for that it works fine after using the native request not the formRequest

I am getting this issue.. changing addMediaFromRequest to addMedia didn't work.. im using windows..

$customer->addMediaFromRequest('customer_picture')
	            ->usingName($name)
	            ->usingFileName("$name.$ext")
	            ->toMediaCollection('customer_picture');

currently i have two project that are using this package, my first project don't have any issues..

EDIT:
I found this article https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/requests/spatie-media-library-upload-always-leads-to-request-does-not-have-a-file-in-a-key-named, it seems that it cant access temp when in php artisan serve mode

EDIT:
I added preservingOriginal() and it worked

preservingOriginal()

I did this $user->addMediaFromRequest("avatar")->preservingOriginal()->toMediaCollection('avatar'); yes it solved the issue but i would find the same media being uploaded twice.

preservingOriginal()

I did this $user->addMediaFromRequest("avatar")->preservingOriginal()->toMediaCollection('avatar'); yes it solved the issue but i would find the same media being uploaded twice.

Did you find a fix for the duplicate uploads? I am facing the same issue as well
