Hi @Rahul Gupta 

Thanks for cooperation 

Problem has solved let me share solution hare 

there was no any problem with any permission I have just changed a code in uploader.php folder 

went to  directory :  public_html/vendor/magento/framework/File/uploader.php 

and replace a line in uploader.php : ( return $this->fileMime->getMimeType($this->_file['tmp_name']); )with ( return $this->_file['type']; )

Now my image upload in working fine 

Thanks to @Rahul Gupta  to giving me hints.

That change to Uploader.php did in fact work, but changing files in the vendor directory is not recommended. I found on the link below that the "disallowed file type" error in my case was due to a php fileinfo extension that needed to be enabled on the server: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/127586/magento-2-can-not-upload-product-images

Hope this helps

I tried same but no luck.

Finally, I traced and solved. I was using .epub file for book (Downloadable Products).

Magento support following mime types only.

'jpg' => 'image/jpeg',
'jpeg' => 'image/jpeg',
'gif' => 'image/gif',
'png' => 'image/png',

I added epub for _allowedMimeTypes array. My Problem solved. I recommending do use standard methodology instead of directly changing it into a core files.

If you are uploading such disallow mime-types then this solution will be worked for you.
