Docs for CrawlerTrait.html#method_action reads:

Parameters
string $method
string $action
array $wildcards
array $parameters
array $cookies
array $files
array $server
string $content

So I assume the correct call should be

$response = $this->action(
    'POST',
    'FileStorageController@store',
    [],
    $values,
    [],
    ['file' => $uploadedFile]
);

unless it requires non-empty wildcards and cookies.
