    I was able to fix this issue by supplying the site name in the url and not in the GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl.

    So instead of 

    https://test.com/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sitename/Shared%20Documents')/Files/Add(url='TestPdf.pdf', overwrite=true)

    use

    https://test.com/sitename/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Shared%20Documents')/Files/Add(url='TestPdf.pdf', overwrite=true)
