    When you hover your cursor over the icon (as described above) it will tell you the number files remaining, the speed and the estimated time remaining.

Hovering the cursor over the Dropbox icon in the menu bar (Mac) gives no information about the status of a stuck file. Clicking the icon says Connection Is Secure and gives connection info.

Hey techperson, it looks like the file upload has been stuck on your end, please correct me if I’m wrong in my assumption. If it’s not too much trouble for you, could you elaborate a bit on the steps you’ve already tried on your end to amend this behavior, so as to make sure I’m following-up with you correctly? Are you seeing any error messages by any chance? I’d appreciate a screenshot (omitting personal info) of what the message reads, as it would point us towards the best next steps; please include it in your next message if possible. 
 
Thanks in advance for the time you’re devoting to work on that with me & I'll be awaiting your next update & we’ll take it from there!
