ply is not a recognized MIME type by ng2-file-upload . You can find all the supported MIME types in the source code here:

https://github.com/valor-software/ng2-file-upload/blob/development/src/file-upload/file-type.class.ts

as you can see, the content type is set to application for non-listed file extensions.
