Umbraco 8 Bug- Media picker upload button from content editor gets disabled first time it is opened

So I have multiple media folders and when going between content sections that have media pickers that are directed to another folder- then the first time Add Media + button is clicked the "Upload" button is disabled. If I close and reopen (the right add media panel), the button works. Somewhat similar to this issue here: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/91736-media-picker-upload-button-dead-after-upgrade-from-764-7102

Cursor is over the button that gets disabled the first time Add image is clicked. Works until going to another content node and clicking add image, if the folder is different

For a temp fix (Works as long as content editors are OK to add media to any, not good for long term)- I added:

        //TEMP FIX HERE
        $scope.lockedFolder = false;
        $scope.currentFolder = folder;
        //end temp fix

In .../Umbraco/Js/umbraco.controllers.js LINES ~2268

Full function:

 $scope.gotoFolder = function (folder) {
            if (!$scope.multiPicker) {
                deselectAllImages($scope.model.selection);
            }
            if (!folder) {
                folder = {
                    id: -1,
                    name: 'Media',
                    icon: 'icon-folder'
                };
            }
            if (folder.id > 0) {
                entityResource.getAncestors(folder.id, 'media', null, { dataTypeKey: dataTypeKey }).then(function (anc) {
                    $scope.path = _.filter(anc, function (f) {
                        return f.path.indexOf($scope.startNodeId) !== -1;
                    });
                });
                mediaTypeHelper.getAllowedImagetypes(folder.id).then(function (types) {
                    $scope.acceptedMediatypes = types;
                });
            } else {
                $scope.path = [];
            }
            //TEMP FIX HERE
            $scope.lockedFolder = false;
            $scope.currentFolder = folder;
            //end temp fix
            localStorageService.set('umbLastOpenedMediaNodeId', folder.id);
            return getChildren(folder.id);
        };

Hi, I had the same issue on Umbraco v8.4, and I did something similar to your solution which is sure bad, but it's temporary.

I removed hasFolderAccess(folder) === false part from the below code:

$scope.lockedFolder = folder.id === -1 && $scope.model.startNodeIsVirtual || hasFolderAccess(folder) === false;

It seems that hasFolderAccess(folder) returns True the first time, which causes to make $scope.lockedFolder True
