How to convert BitmapImage into StorageFile?

Question

While drag and drop of an image i need to convert BitmapImage into StorageFile to upload it. 

           DataPackageView dataPackageView = Clipboard.GetContent();
           if (dataPackageView.Contains(StandardDataFormats.Bitmap))
           {
                        RandomAccessStreamReference img = await dataPackageView.GetBitmapAsync();
                        var imgstream = await img.OpenReadAsync();
                        BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
                        bitmap.SetSource(imgstream);
                        StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri(bitmap.UriSource.ToString()));

                        IUploadFileModel   _uploadModel = ObjFactory.Instance.CreateUploadFileModel();
                      _uploadModel.UploadFileAsync(file, user, OpenChatData.TeamID.ToString(), _isReadReceiptEnabled);

               }
