Cannot choose or upload an image (A technical problem with the server created an error)

[sahandsigm749e]

Hello everyone,

I'm running PHP 7.2 and Magento 2.3 with a custom theme and when editing pages or creating new ones, when I try to add an image from the add image button I get this error:

A technical problem with the server created an error. Try again to continue what you were doing. If the problem persists, try again later.

Also, I cannot see any of the images from the left hand browser tab and also when I create a new folder, Never creates one.

I checked the log and there is nothing registered regarding this issue. And the only error that gets logged is not even related! 

[2020-06-08 09:58:01] main.ERROR: Unable to resolve the source file for 'adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/Toogas_Easypay/fonts/toogas-icon.woff2' [] []
[2020-06-08 09:58:01] main.CRITICAL: Unable to resolve the source file for 'adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/Toogas_Easypay/fonts/toogas-icon.woff2' [] []

I saw many people had a similar problem when they were trying to upload their logo.

But those solution didn’t work for me.

Kindly help.

Thank you!

OK After I enabled Error display functionality in my PHP.ini I see this error now:

So after going through everything, I found out that the Fileinfo extension was missing from my PHP configuration. The problem went away as soon as I enabled it.
