 * Hi, I have this problem:
    it often happens to me that when I upload some images,
   I see the message: “Name of my image.jpg” has failed to upload. The file you 
   are trying to upload already exists.
 * This message is an error. Because that file, with that name, has never been loaded
   previously.
 * In fact, despite seeing that error, the image is successfully uploaded to the
   media.
 * So I upload the image, I get the error, but the media is still uploaded, so I
   have to look for it in the latest uploaded media.
 * Here are some sample screenshots
    Upload error: [https://i.ibb.co/jyZqrBq/err1.png](https://i.ibb.co/jyZqrBq/err1.png)
 * Media library:
    [https://i.ibb.co/QNvwVWN/err2.png](https://i.ibb.co/QNvwVWN/err2.png)
 * Searching for that filename in the media (never uploaded previously):
    [https://i.ibb.co/m04CSZ6/err3.png](https://i.ibb.co/m04CSZ6/err3.png)
 * This error appears to appear when multiple images are loaded at the same time.
   But I’m not sure about this.
 * I await support.
    Thank you
