Hi Jay,
I think the problem was a specific folder. I'm not sure, if it is somehow related to this folder having files in it which are commonly "open" within an application I use. The problem resolved itself after I rebooted my PC.

I reinstalled it and am still getting this same contradiction. It was about 20 minutes after getting the “Your files are up to date” notification on the bottom that all of the “Waiting to sync”s changed to “Upload complete”s. Really, this seems like a bug in your program rather than anything to do with my computer. But regardless, all I really want to know is when all the files are actually uploaded (is it the “Your files are up to date” or “Upload complete”?) so I know when I can turn off my computer knowing that I am fully backed up. Thanks.
I seem to consistently have this problem, as do my colleagues. I cannot tell, if it still needs to sync or not, there is often/always a list "Waiting to sync”s, whilst at the same time it says “Your files are up to date” .

Do you see files in Finder with a cloud icon, like in this article?
Are these files that are waiting to sync in the same folder, or different areas?
