Laravel file upload without changing name - php

Question

I want to upload a files to my laravel project. But I recognise that laravel randomly change my file name. How do I upload files to laravel without changing it's name. Also somehow my validation are not working. I just got redirected without any messages.
this are my blade
//show errors
#if ($errors->any())
<div class="alert alert-danger">
<ul>
#foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
#endforeach
/ul>
</div>
#endif
// forms
<form action="{{ route('designers.store') }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group d-flex flex-column">
<label for="exampleInputFile">File input</label>
<input type="file" name="files[]" multiple>
</div>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
this are my controller
$data = $request->validate([
'project' => 'required|numeric',
'totalItem' => 'required|numeric',
'files' => 'file',
]);
if ($request->hasFile('files')) {
$allowedfileExtension=['pdf','jpg','png','docx','png','xlsx'];
$files = $request->file('files');
foreach ($files as $key => $value) {
$filename = $value->getClientOriginalName();
$extention = $value->getClientOriginalExtension();
$check = in_array($extention,$allowedfileExtension);
if ($check) {
File::create([
'name' => $value->store('designers','public'),
'type' => 'designer',
'project_id' => $data['project'],
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
]);
}
}
}

You can change your controller to this:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
function yourFunction(){
$this->validate($request,[
'project' => 'required|numeric',
'totalItem' => 'required|numeric',
'files' => 'nullable|array|file|mimes:pdf,jpg,png,docx,xlsx' //This validates file and MIME type. Also if it is not required, it should perhaps be nullable.
]);
if($request->hasFile('files'){
$files = $request->file('files');
foreach($files as $file){
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
Storage::disk('local')->put($filename, file_get_contents($file)); //This stores your file.
}
}
//Save stuff to DB here
}
