In Angular 2+, it is very important to leave the Content-Type empty. If you set the 'Content-Type' to 'multipart/form-data' the upload will not work !

upload.component.html

upload.component.ts

export class UploadComponent implements OnInit {
    constructor(public http: Http) {}

    fileChange(event): void {
        const fileList: FileList = event.target.files;
        if (fileList.length > 0) {
            const file = fileList[0];

            const formData = new FormData();
            formData.append('file', file, file.name);

            const headers = new Headers();
            // It is very important to leave the Content-Type empty
            // do not use headers.append('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data');
            headers.append('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + 'eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9....');
            const options = new RequestOptions({headers: headers});

            this.http.post('https://api.mysite.com/uploadfile', formData, options)
                 .map(res => res.json())
                 .catch(error => Observable.throw(error))
                 .subscribe(
                     data => console.log('success'),
                     error => console.log(error)
                 );
        }
    }
}
