laravel and dropzone return empty

I am using Laravel 5.6 and dropzone 5.2.0

This is my form:

<form method="post" action="" class="dropzone" id="myAwesomeDropzone" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    

    <div class="fallback">
        <input name="file" type="file" />
    </div>
</form>

and this is my method:

function uploadSponsors(Request $request)
    {
        $images = $request->file('file');
        return response()->json(['files' => $images], 200);
    }

However after I put a file into the dropbox area I get this as the response:

{"files":{}}

I am expecting to see the file(s) listed, but it is just an empty object, what's missing?

I do not have any dropzone javascript code, just the form with the dropzone class.
