This error occurs when trying to upload to DigitalOcean Spaces or Amazon S3.

The error message is very vague just supplying InvalidArgument as a reason.

code: 'InvalidArgument' suggests that there is an issue with the supplied uploadParams.

const uploadParams = {
    Bucket: process.env.DIGITAL_OCEAN_PUBLIC_SPACE_NAME,
    Key: `profile-picture/${userUUID}.jpg`,
    Body: body,
    ACL: 'public',
};

In my case we can see above that I was trying to use ACL: 'public'.

This is not a valid ACL value, a value of ACL: 'public-read' should be used. For private objects you should use ACL: 'private'. The documentation can be found here.

If you receive this error check that your bucket name, ACL values and all of your uploadParams are valid.
