Thank you @bhaldie. This was helpful.

Display File Properties were checked. What I did is uncheck them, then check them afresh, and it worked for the backend upload.

But I am still not out of the woods yet. I have researched with no end in sight.

1. For security reasons, I have .htaccess .htpasswd protecting the /wp-admin folder with a password popup. When I try to access domain.com/mdocs folder, the password prompt come up. When I cancel the popup, I can still access the files. See screenshot. https://prnt.sc/nwe3bs

I have the tried tweaking .htaccess inside /mdocs/ to no avail. Currently, I have this directive

<Directory "/home/public_html/wp-content/uploads/mdocs"/>
   Allow from all
   Satisfy Any
</Directory>

I have also tried

   Allow from all
   Satisfy Any

The .htaccess on /wp-admin/ looks like

<IfModule !mod_ssl.c>
	Order allow,deny
	Deny from all
</IfModule>

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Admin Login"

AuthUserFile /home/public_html/wp-admin/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

<LIMIT GET POST>
Require valid-user
</LIMIT>

Why would a user be prompted for the password to access /mdocs/ while mdocs is inside /wp-contents/ and not /wp-admin/? Are there dependables of mdocs in /wp-admin/ prompting for the password?

2. When clicking on the uploaded file, the “File options” menu was not showing until I disabled Bootstrap for Frontend. But then, the menus do not work. They open a popup a the top right. Probably a CSS issue. Only download works. See screenshot http://prnt.sc/nwe0p3 and https://prnt.sc/nwe13b

Thanks for the help so far
