app/Http/routes.php
Route::get('dropzone', 'HomeController@dropzone');
Route::post('dropzone/store', ['as'=>'dropzone.store','uses'=>'HomeController@dropzoneStore']);

You have to also create new images folder in your public folder for store image.

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Generate Image upload View
*
* @return void
*/
public function dropzone()
{
return view('dropzone-view');
}
/**
* Image Upload Code
*
* @return void
*/
public function dropzoneStore(Request $request)
{
$image = $request->file('file');
$imageName = time().$image->getClientOriginalName();
$image->move(public_path('images'),$imageName);
return response()->json(['success'=>$imageName]);
}
}
Step 3: Add Blade File
At last step we have to create dropzone-view.blade.php file in your resources directory. in this file i write code of image uploading using dropzone.js, so let's create new blade file and put bellow code:
resources/views/dropzone-view.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
