New Issue Checklist

• I am not disclosing a vulnerability.
• I am not just asking a question.
• I have searched through existing issues.
• I can reproduce the issue with the latest version of Parse Server.

Issue Description

Parse server throws the following error while uploading files:
The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object. Received undefined

Steps to reproduce

Using File API of Parse SDK:

const file = new Parse.File('parse-server-logo', {
  base64: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,ParseA==',
});
await file.save();

Using File upload Rest API:

curl --location --request POST 'http://198.199.84.19:1337/parse/files/test.txt' \
--header 'X-Parse-Application-Id: <APP_ID>' \
--header 'X-Parse-REST-API-Key: <REST_API_KEY>' \
--header 'X-Parse-Master-Key: <MASTER_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/text' \
--data-raw 'Hello world' 

Actual Outcome

For File API of Parse SDK:

The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object. Received undefined

For File upload Rest API:

{
    "code": 130,
    "error": "The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object. Received undefined"
}

Expected Outcome

Successfully upload the file and respond with the URL to the file. A sample success response would be:

{
    "url": "http://localhost:1337/parse/files/APP_ID/0fef055962401a0c5d23d9c10b737a07_test.txt",
    "name": "0fef055962401a0c5d23d9c10b737a07_test.txt"
}

Environment

This issue occurs with Parse SDK version ^3.5.0-alpha.6. Please note that the same version of Parse SDK must be used in Parse Server. Parse Server uses the latest released version of Parse SDK (3.4.2) by default. You will need to override the SDK version for Parse server. To do so, you can add the following in package.json:

"overrides": {
  "parse-server": {
    "parse": "^3.5.0-alpha.6"
  }
}

Also note that npm package overriding is only supported from npm version >=8.3.0.
