Upload stopped, how to see last file uploaded?

I navigated away from dropbox.com in mid upload. This seems to have stopped the upload. Is this expected behaviour?

I can't see modified dates for my folders, only files within the folders. Is this expected behaviour?

I need to see when the upload stopped. How can I tell which file was the last to be successfully uploaded without opening each individual folder?

    Yes. If you're uploading through a website (any website) and navigate away, the upload will stop.

    You can click the ellipsis (three dots) next to a folder and select Folder Info to see the modified date. Note, however, that uploading a file to a folder doesn't modify the folder itself, so the modification date will not change.

    There is nothing to show the status of an interrupted upload through the browser. Maybe your Events page will give some insight?
