+## Upgrade from 5.0.3 to 5.1.0 - BREAKING CHANGE
+
+As email log attachments might quickly grow to large size you'd want to use some external storage to save them. To enable this we need to utilize the Laravel's Filesystem. Follow the guide below if you were using the 5.0.3 and wish to upgrade to 5.1.0.
+
+Change a line in `config/email_log.php` file from:
+
+```
+'folder' => env('EMAIL_LOG_ATTACHMENT_FOLDER','email_log_attachments'),
+```
+
+to
+
+```
+'disk' => env('EMAIL_LOG_DISK','email_log_attachments'),
+```
+
+In `config/filesystems.php` add 
+
+
+```
+'email_log_attachments' => [
+    'driver' => 'local',
+    'root' => storage_path('app/email_log_attachments'),
+],
+```
+
+the `'root'` must point to the folder where you were previously saving the attachements.
