I also recently found that a similar error occurs if an uploaded filename contains a standard "%" character, even though this character is allowed to be in filenames both in Windows as well as in Appian. It produces a generic error message that can't be cleared (as the uploaded document disappears as soon as the error comes up, with no way of removing it). I assume the root cause isn't necessarily related to the issue of zero-size files, but the behavior has an eyebrow-raising amount of overlap. I have a support case open for this already FWIW.

I am currently pushing Appian to solve this issue and add a disclaimer to the documentation.

This issue still occurs as of 21.2; no known workarounds other than education of end users, plus the fact that it doesn't happen purely by accident very often.
