Your post leaves a lot unexplained
- where are you trying to upload an image from/to
- what do you mean you created a category?
- have you installed 'node-red-dashboard'?

What node are you using to do the upload? node-red-contrib-?????
Can you provide your flow ([read this first](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506))

I have the same issue with a video node that is not shown.
I think the contrib is node-red-contrib-ui-media. Acts as a media player used to show pictures, video an audio. [https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-media](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-media) (by gfcittolin on github).
The node load the video, and even you can preview it, **but nothing is shown on dashboard**. It seems that physical space is preserved but video does not appear.
The same on a Mac or Windows runs ok.
Tested with:
node-red 1.1.2
node-red-contrib-ui-media v1.2.0
Android 8.1.0

I solved it. Not sure which of the things I did:
First one:
Change credential option to false in settings.js as I read something about it.
Second one:
-Stop node-red
-Start node-red.
-Restart device
Hope this helps

I just have the same issue but with node-red-node-ui-table, i get the following console error when deploying:
```auto
Error: Cannot find module 'node-red-dashboard'

}
```
And it seems like a quick node-red restart fixed the job 😇
