    We have the same issue, have tested web app and desktop app.

    Have tested loading from one drive and from C: drive,

    have tested all file formats .pdf, .jpg, .wrd .ppt. 

    Have tried this on two separate laptops.

    Have tried to delete MS Teams Cache.

    I've also never created the assignment through OneNote and have been experiencing the issue.  Only some of my students are unable to upload their files, and it's not clear what they have in common because we're a one-to-one school and the student laptops are all imaged by the school IT staff on similar hardware.

    I have the same issue here. I use teams app in windows pc. I join an online international class, but there are only 2 or 3 people from dofferent country who cannot uploading our assignment. Our trouble is same: our internet connection is okay, our file also fine, but the teams always stated "There is an error with your file".

    I have tried reconnect my internet for several times, rename my doc files, even convert it into pdf, but nothing work though

    Fyi i have uploaded 2 assignments before this error happen, and those 2 assignments also has the same trouble but then it fix by itself just a few minutes after. But my last assignment still cannot be uploaded for a long time until past the due date.. It is so annoying and waste our times. I spend an hour to try to fix this problem. At last, I only uploaded a onedrive link. But still it is unefficient for me because i need to upload to onedrive first..

    Please Microsoft, fix this problem.

    And by the way it is not the only problem we face in teams. Previously, we (all the student)  cannot open the assignment file at all. And we don't know why it fix by itself..
