Error while preparing to share

I wanted to upload some videos to drive but this message keeps popping up. I’ve tried restarting my phone, changing wifi servers. I can upload other videos, even those with longer duration. But certain videos still have this message. How do I fix it? I need them for my course.

unable to share there was an error while preparing to share I have an iPhone XR 64GB currently I have 39 GB of free space iOS 13.5 iClooud serice 200 GB (198 GB of free space) I have less than 100 pictures in my cameral roll. Half of those pictures are wallpapers for my iPhone, whenever I want a new wallpaper I select one click share set as wallpaper and it used to work like a charm. But starting today I've been unable to do it as every single time I select a photo and want to use it as wallpaper I get a pop up message that says: unable to share there was an error while preparing to share I search on Google and I have tried multiple "solutions" turning off and on iCloud photos, deactivating reduce motion, reset network, rebooting the devicde, turning it off and on, everything. But nothing works and I keep getting the message again and again. Even if I try choosing a photo and sending through whatsapp, or Airdrop, or any other messaging app I get the same message. This is really frustrating, is any REAL solution for this? I don't want to factory reset my device as I don't want to be forced to upgrade to 13.5.1 and I don't want to even try iOS 14 yet. Please share a solution with me. I will be forever grateful.

Which app are you referring to?

Which Drive are you trying to upload to?

You may get better and prompt responses if you may kindly provide the iPhone Model that you have and the iOS version if it is known to you and re-post.
