hi , it depends on how  how you are setting the content-type in request and how you are sending the body.
Please share code snippets to get a better understanding of the issue.

thanks,

Hi Aman,

I am using ContentVersion to store files and here is my code snippets. Thanks
  
String contentType = '';
                if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('txt')){
                    contentType = 'text/plain';
                }else if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('xlsx')){
                    contentType = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet';
                    System.debug('contentType of ExcelSheet:'+contentType);
                }else if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('xls')){
                    contentType = 'application/vnd.ms-excel';
                    System.debug('contentType of ExcelSheet:'+contentType);
                
                }else if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('docx')){
                   // contentType = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document';
                    contentType = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document';
                    //contentType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.document';
                    System.debug('contentType of DcoumentX:'+contentType);
                }else if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('doc')){
                    contentType = 'application/msword';
                   // contentType = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template';
                    //contentType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.document';
                    System.debug('contentType of WorkDcoument:'+contentType);
                }else if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('pdf')){
                    contentType = 'application/pdf';

                    contentType = 'application/x-zip-compressed';
                    System.debug('contentType of Zip:'+contentType);
                }else if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('jpg')){
                    contentType = 'image/jpeg';
                    System.debug('contentType of jpg:'+contentType);
                }else if(fileExtension !=null && fileExtension.contains('png')){
                    contentType = 'image/png';
                    System.debug('contentType of png:'+contentType);
