Uploaded file
-------------

- Directly save an uploaded file to the cloud. A new method `saveToCloud` is added to `Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile`.

`string saveToCloud(string $folder, string $disk = null)`

This method returns the URL of the file. When the file is saved to a local disk, a relative path is returned in stead of a complete URL.
