Cancelling an upload

By mistake my Dropbox started to upload my whole desktop, instead of the folder I thought (and still think) that I marked. Now I can't find a way to cancel the upload, and it says it will take severa...

    Hey there olofedsinger  - how are you today?

    If I understood correctly, you're uploading files through our website (not using the desktop app) and you mistakenly uploaded more files/folders than you meant to.  

    In that case, all you need to do is close your web browser to cancel the upload completely. If any files were uploaded before doing this, you should be able to delete them as needed. 

    Let me know if I'm missing anything here please.

Hey RadimP; thanks for joining our discussion and sorry for the late response.

 

If you're still having issues with this, could you please send me a screenshot of the app's exact status as shown within your system tray/menu bar and let me know if you can find any files within your computer's Dropbox folder?

 

Let me know and we'll take it from there, Radim.
