This error also appeared for me and I also use react-native-camera, but I was able to get rid of it by truncating file:// protocol from the beginning of the file path.

For example if you have:

file:///storage/emulated/0/Movies/VID_20170202_094146.mp4

it should become

/storage/emulated/0/Movies/VID_20170202_094146.mp4

@StevePotter I think so.I looked at “Android upload service” library source and seems like that what the library author decided to do. screenshot_20170301-145509
