Answer 1

As explained in comments, it's a bug with Chrome (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1063576).

The following error can also be raised: NotReadableError: The requested file could not be read, typically due to permission problems that have occurred after a reference to a file was acquired..

As a workaround, clone your File or Blob before further use:

const buffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
const clone = new File([buffer], file.name, { type: file.type });

Answer 2

 const buffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
    const clone = new File([buffer],file.name, { type: file.type });
    let FD = new FormData();
    FD.append('uploaded_file', clone);

And use FD wherever required.
