The reason of this Error is Apollo 2.0 "File Upload" feature.

You can read more about this feature in follow link:

https://www.apollographql.com/blog/file-uploads-with-apollo-server-2-0-5db2f3f60675

the package 'graphql-upload' has scalar type Upload and Apollo server use 'graphql-upload' to handle file uploads too.

Maybe you can solve this problem using the apollo "file upload" feature, or, renaming the Upload that came from 'graphql-upload'.
