I am using Laravel 12.30 and LFM 2.11

I have used this for some years and of course have the route defined

Route::group(['prefix' => 'laravel-filemanager', 'middleware' => ['web', 'auth']], function () {
 \UniSharp\LaravelFilemanager\Lfm::routes();
});

and the appropriate directory is set to 777. When I click on add an image (in CKEditor 4) the box pops up OK but when I go to browse server to upload etc. I get a 403 error.

Unisharp\Laravelfilemanager\LaravelFilemanagerServiceProvider::class is in the bootstrap.providers

I just can't figure it out!
