Difficulty to organize / structure controller in Laravel

I'm having trouble structuring my controller FileController . Main points of difficulty:

• Select which repeats in different methods
• I'm restricting the search for the logged in user ID, but would it be appropriate to use policy for this purpose, if so, how to do that?
• At some points I use $ this- > authorize ('files', $ arq), is this approach correct?

Obs : The project source code is available at link
