Laravel 5.5 - multiple images upload

I have this function in my controller:

use File;
use Image; //image intervention library
...
public function upload(Request $request)
    {
        //make sure there is a folder in public with the username
        $username = Auth::user()->name;
        $folderpath = public_path('images/' . $username . '/');
        File::makeDirectory($folderpath, $mode = 0777, true, true);

        $files = $request->file;

        if(!empty($files)):
            foreach($files as $file):
                $filename = 'post_' . time() . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
                $path = $folderpath . $filename;
                Image::make($file)->resize(800,400)->save($path);
            endforeach;
        endif;

        return 'success';
    }

which only save the last image if I upload multiple.

and I tried:

public function upload(Request $request)
    {
        //make sure there is a folder in public with the username
        $username = Auth::user()->name;
        $folderpath = public_path('images/' . $username . '/');
        File::makeDirectory($folderpath, $mode = 0777, true, true);

        $files = $request->file;

        if(!empty($files)):
            foreach($files as $file):
                $filename = 'post_' . time() . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
                $path = $folderpath . $filename;
                $file->save($path);
            endforeach;
        endif;

        return ''success;
    }

which throw me error:

Method save does not exist.

I goggled and it seems like I did not instantiate it with model. But in this case, how can I instantiate it with model if it is just a direct file upload?

What is the best way for multiple images upload in laravel?
