You can only do a synchronous upload as a staff user, see [Image upload with synchronous true for new users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/image-upload-with-synchronous-true-for-new-users/52886) for details.

Some more information

> if you want the url back, you will have to listen to the “/uploads/\*” channels via the Message Bus.
