Very strange behavior. This happened to me from times to times. Right now, it was same but at almost the end of upload (="uploading" vs "Waiting to upload").
I tried to cancel the copy but could not. No effect on the cross.
I went to Force quit to close the finder from there : Finder icon had wrong icon, from another app.
I closed that app.
File copy finished without doing further command.
Just like if there were some process mix.
The files I tried to copy were not related to that app.
