How can I stop an upload?
Surely it is possible to cancel an upload in process. Why can't you tell me how to do that?>?>?
- Simply close Dropbox, or, move the files out of the Dropbox folder on your computer.
There is a cancel option.

I am uploading directly to the web using my windows computer. I have tried everything I can to find some kind of abort or cancel button. This is not being synced at this time.

I am having the same issue. Uploading from external drive on Mac laptop. This is a new issue since the new version came out.
There used be an "X" next to file name so I could stop an upload.
Exiting out of Dropbox isn't a viable option especially if I am atttempting to upload say 12 files at once, and realize I am trying to upload just one incorrect file. Exiting will stop all activity. Help please:)
- MarkHannah - for the website there is no way to stop uploads. The website is designed as a stopgap for when you are not at your computer with dropbox installed.
kdwpilgrim - dont use the website then, use the desktop software as suggested. All you then do is move the files out of the Dropbox folder.

I eventually had to just close Dropbox. Seems like a ham-handed way to stop an upload. I noted someone else has the same problem. I too had other files in the queue. This method of stopping an upload is similar to doing Ctrl-Alt-Del to turn off your computer...
