Give it a try

$data = [];
if($request->hasfile('user_sharing_image'))
 {
    foreach($request->file('user_sharing_image') as $key=>$file)

    {
        $name=$file->getClientOriginalName();    
        $file->move(public_path().'/files/', $name);      
        $data[$key] = $name;  
    }
 }

 $file= new Detail();
 $file->title = $request->title;
 $file->info = $request->info;
 $file->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
 $file->user_sharing_image=json_encode($data);

 $file->save();

if you want to get auth data using Auth::user(), you need to use passport package. follow laravel.com/docs/5.7/passport. Otherwise pass user_id in your request data.

You are getting this error because $data is not defined.

Before foreach loop you can declare it as $data = array();

its gives error Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini

Hello fellow developers

This will work properly

 $files = $request->allFiles('imgs');

            foreach ($files as $key => $img) {
                # code...
                $filename = request()->getSchemeAndHttpHost() . '/assets/images/users/upload/profile/photos/' . time() . '.'. $img->extension();
                $img->move(public_path('/assets/images/users/upload/profile/photos/'), $filename);


                $photos = UserPhoto::create([
                    'user_id' => $user->id,
                    'name' => $filename
                ]);
            }


            return response()->json([
                'status' => true,
                'data' => 'Photos Uploaded Successfully!!'
            ]);

i think you should use files method to return array of files :

     foreach($request->files('user_sharing_image') as $file)
