S3 configuraton is giving strange behavior and not working Storage::disk('s3')->files(); InvalidArgumentException with message 'Missing required client configuration options: region: (string)

[mikeyapina]

So I am trying to get upload to S3 to work so I can upload files to S3 instead of locally for some large files. But, there appears to be a funny issue going on with the configuration. Notice the error and the .env are correct it just isn't reading properly. From the tinker it is there
as well. I am trying to test uploading to the s3 bucket for files instead of local.

dd(config('filesystems.disks.s3'))

Plus this is the env file setting

@mikeyapina I fixed it I had to change the parameters for s3 in this file and also make sure that their counterparts where in side the .env file without the AWS.. header in the env file
