> REASON BEHIND CHANGES
> If the type of file which we want to upload is not clear then we should not allow it to be uploaded in the server
> 
> Issue(s)
> This should close issues :-
> closes https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/27924
> 
> Steps to test or reproduce
> 
> 1. Login to rocket chat.
> 2. Set "Accepted Media Types" setting in "File Upload" section. For example image/\*,application/pdf,text/plain,application/msword
> 3. Try sending a rare file type like .har
> 4. The file is not loaded into the chat, and there is no error message.

Was: invalidContentType: Boolean(file.type && !fileUploadIsValidContentType(file.type)),  
Now: invalidContentType: !(file.type && fileUploadIsValidContentType(file.type)),  
If we can’t detrminate a MIME type of a file (file.type) it will return a false and all not recognised types will be not work at all even if “Accepted Media Types” is empty.
