To add on user2355213s answer for the more current releases of protractor. ptor is obsolote and instead browser should be used. Also, executeScript() expects a string as parameter. So I ended up using

browser.executeScript('$(\'input[type="file"]\').attr("style", "");');

as my visibility setting was directly applied to the element. Of course, you can also use

browser.executeScript('$(\'input[type="file"]\').removeClass("hidden-uploader");');

depending on your HTML/CSS.
