You should probably change the name of the file on the server and not in your JS code.

@bobbybouwmann I change it on server and i return the new file name. Now i want to rename the uploaded file name to the name i return.
public function updateImg(Request $request){
$image = $request->file('file');
$imageName = time().'.'.$image->extension();
$image->move(public_path('img/product/'),$imageName);
return response()->json($imageName);
}

You should use storeAs here instead of move

are you trying to rename the file in the client computer? That would never be allowed.

@bobbybouwmann I tried this but its didnt work. Not sure where the file have been saved. Can i know what the different between this two??
$image->storeAs(public_path('img/product/'), $imageName);
Level 122
move() is correct as far as I am concerned
Level 1
@snapey No. I only need to rename the file have been uploaded in the dropzone.
Level 122
so what wrong? what is not working
Level 122
ok, so move() is ok, but you have to tell it where the file is now, and where you want it to be. Bobby is correct, storeAs is easier to use
So if this did not work, is public_path set correctly
open tinker and type public_path('img/product/')
