Symptoms
Currently we experience an issue that some user(s) are not able to upload files to a document library within SharePoint.
If they try to upload Pictures (png and jpg) they receive below error.

Diagnoses
We determined that these filenames already exist on the server and K2 cannot overwrite these files, we have to give them new names.
Resolution
A solution to this problem would be to append the date time to the filename after uploading the file using the SmartForms file upload control. You can also generate a new GUID for each file. This would ensure that the filenames are unique and will be able to save successfully on the server for later download.
