Research direction

Start by reproducing the drag-and-drop upload with .xmind and .vsdx files in the Electron client and a browser, then trace the file-upload path that produces “Media Type Not Accepted: undefined.” Compare the behavior with the stated media whitelist and blacklist settings; done means both file types upload successfully without the error.
