Laravel downloading files from storage causing internal server error (Status code 500)

I created a new local disk under /storage/app/uploads in

Filesystems.php: 

 'uploads' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app/uploads'),
    ],

Now when I try to download a zip file in an ajax request, my DownloadController throws a:

Internal server error Status code 500

Any idea? I couldn't find the problem. Thanks in advance.

Code snippet of the DownloadController:

public function verify(Request $request, $hash)
{
    // Some sql queries here
    $headers = ["Content-Type"=>"application/zip"];
    return $response()->download(storage_path()."/app/uploads/test.zip", "test.zip",$headers);
}

EDIT

I discovered that:

return Storage::disk('uploads')->download("test.zip","zip.zip");

will work when the call is not made in an ajax. I somehow have to get the ajax to get the file and download it

An image of the storage:

You can have a look at the doc on how to download the files, you need to specify your storage driver and then call the download method:

return Storage::disk('uploads')->download('test.zip');
