iCloud Drive upload on macOS Sonoma is stuck for a number of unknown files

On my (Intel) iMac with latest macOS, Finder says that it is uploading 726 items to iCloud Drive. Just some few megabytes missing, it says. But that never goes away. Not even rebooting helps. And it persists over macOS updates even. (Was the same before the update to 14.2.) Some month ago is was 201 items, not sure when it grew to 726.

How can I find out what "items" it is uploading, and whether they truly are out of sync or not. And if yes, get them to finally sync then.

iMac (2017 – 2020)

Exactly the same thing here. Apple cares more about their bottom line than the quality of their products, which has been nose diving ever since Steve Jobs passed away.

I have no idea why people are still hooked on the buggiest ecosphere I’ve experienced. I spend more time on my LINUX System now.

Same problem here, macOS Sonoma 14.2.1

One file keeps getting uploaded since weeks. It's just 732k in size, stuck at 702k.

New files get synched as expected.

Restart does not help.

Any solutions?

Haven’t heard of any solutions yet but, that’s about the same amount of data that is stuck on mine.

My iCloud Drive is stuck on "Uploading 1 Item; Zero KB of 312 MB", in MacOS 14.3.1 (23D60) Sonoma, on a Mac Pro. It would be nice to know what file/files it is stuck on. I will check the Activity Monitor to see if I can get more info.

Apple R U Listening?
