Solution

I figured it out! I had the error as there are 2 missing pieces of middleware on my api route group. I added the following 2 middlewares to the api middleware group and then added that group to my API routes and it fixed the issue!

    \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
    \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,

Can you post the fixed code as a reference to anyone having the same problem ?

Just add the web middleware to your route entry like this:

Route::get('/file', 'FileController@createNewFile')->middleware('web');

This group already contains he middleware needed for persistent sessions in ajax calls

Put that 2 lines of code to app/Http/Kernel.php

    protected $middlewareGroups = [ 
        'web' => [
            // ...
        ],  

        'api' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,          // <------- ADD THIS
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, // <------ ADD THIS
            // ...
        ],  
    ];
