Corrupted image created during auto upload

I have been having an issue with my photos using this app. Whenever I take a photo the next cloud app creates a grey burst mode photo that is corrupt. I have to delete this photo everytime as it won't backup or open.

The corrupted photo is created on my Android device every time I take a photo. I have a Nexus 6p running Android 7.1.2 with August 2017 patches. I am running the beta version of the next cloud app to test a battery issue that I reported. This issue was also happening before that and with the help of Google we were able to narrow the issue down to this app.

I am currently clueless. The autoupload should only, upload a picture found in the source folder and does not create a new one.
@mario, maybe you have an idea?

Additional info:

If I take two pictures they both upload fine, and a third corrupt photo is left on my phone which does not upload.

Are we talking about images stored to an SD card or internal storage? Because if on SD card, the image is copied to our own directory, locked and then uploaded. Afterwards, the temporary copy is deleted. As for internal storage, we don't do this dance as I can lock the file there.

However I've never had a case of corrupted image. So we need to find a way to reproduce this...

I'm also having the same problem. Here is a screen shot right after the upload happens. I'm using a Samsung S6 edge.
App version 1.4.3
I've done some testing and the error will occur regardless of internet connectivity or setting based on connectivity. It occurs each time I take a photo or place a picture in the selected directory
local
/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/
remote
/InstandUpload/Camera

@ralieghnet please give 2.0.0RC8 a try since 1.4.3 is obsolete with the upcoming 2.0.0

Have the issue following my S7 upgrade to android 8.0.0 running latest Nextcloud app from playstore. Pre android upgrade I was having the issue that only a few photos and no videos were ever uploaded #2019

For me, auto upload actually destroyed an image. That's a big issue. I wonder why this can happen but the local image is actually broken now.

Remote copy is of course the same.
Its an image in the Instagram folder, attached below. The original image was not set to backup to Google so basically I lost it.

Not a big deal for this one, but this male's me very nervous.

Syncing via Web dav (using folder sync pro) is not an option because large files(videos over 4gb) always time out and are re uploaded. (I burned my data plan with that, 16gb gone within two hours. Stupid me, should have enabled wifi only)

BTW, this image is not anonymized. It's literally what nextcloud did to it.
