### Bug description

When uploading multiple images from Google Photos via "sharing" to nextcloud the upload silently fails: not logs are present in nextcloud, no errors are displayed by the app.

Uploading a single image always succeeds, uploading less than 5 usually succeeds. The issue doesn't seem to be related to the size of the image, although I only tried with images in the range 2-5MB.

Uploading the same files using nextcloud app (and looking for the image files in the camera folder) works, regardless of the number of files.

I don't know if this is an issue with the nextcloud *app* or the *server*

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install nextcloud app on android
2. in google photos, select at least 5 pictures, with size >4MB. I tested multiple times with these picutres https://photos.app.goo.gl/7fgkqP9VFnspz4oa8
3. click on "share"
4. select nextcloud
5. select the desired folder
6. press upload

Often the images will not be uploaded. Sometimes only a few of them will be uploaded.

### Expected behavior

One would expect that all the images would be uploaded, or that an error would be raised.
