FilesystemAdapter could not be converted to string Laravel - php

Question

I have a photo upload form which goes to this code
$this->validate($request, [
'image' => 'required|image|max:3000|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png',
]);
$user = Auth::user();
$usersname = $user->username;
$file = $request->file('image');
$ext = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$path = Storage::disk('uploads');
$filename = $usersname . '.' . $ext;
if (Storage::disk('uploads')->has($filename)) {
Storage::delete($filename);
}
Storage::disk('uploads')->put($filename, File::get($file));
$resizedImg = Image::make($path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename)->resize(200,200)->save($path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename);
return redirect()->route('profile.index',
['username' => Auth::user()->username]);
}
When I make this code execute it gives me this error
ErrorException in ProfileController.php line 71:
Object of class Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemAdapter could not be converted to string
line 71 is the line beginning with $resizedImg but the photo does save to the correct directory just not resized.
I defined uploads in the filesystems.php file as following
'disks' => [
'uploads' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path('/uploads'),
],

$path contents driver in it, but you're trying to use it as string, that's the problem. Try to use something like:
$path = '/uploads';
