    Hi @Gopi, Radhika ,

    In request body, it should be the binary stream of the file to be uploaded.

    In Postman, we could choose binary type in body. Then select the file you want to upload. As the below picture shows:

    @MichaelHan-MSFT , I'm running into similar kind of issue without using Postman. When i use Postman everything works fine, but when using it from my application, the pdfs, docs, ppts, images are coming as blank.
    I'm converting a file from base64 to binary (using atob function) and sending that binary data in the body.

    Language: AngularJS

    Any help will be really appreciated.

    Thanks in Advance!!!
