[@alirezaimi](https://github.com/alirezaimi) Are you sure that your Site URL is correct?  
Administration / General / Sire URL should be the same as the ROOT\_URL environment variable of the main.js process.  
I had the same issue after changing the hostname, ROOT\_URL, but forgot to change the Site URL accordingly.  
After changing the Site URL to the value of ROOT\_URL the upload works again.  
HTH,
