The plugin can't upload non-local files. I think other plugins have the same issue.
I think you can fix it :)

Hi Roman,

We have a GSoC student (Shourya Singh Gupta) who works on factorization of export plugins for the KF5-based version of kipi-plugins. I hope there will be common code for pre- and post-processing so that we can add support for non-local files in this common pre-processing section, once and for all plugins.

Gilles also told me that he would want kipi-plugins to depend on bare Qt5 mostly, with minimal dependency on KF5. In this case exporting from non-local files in kipi-plugins may be possible only when built against KF5::KIOCore.

I'm not going to spend time on fixing this for kipi-plugins-4.x because I don't use uploading from non-local files that often.
