I am trying to transfer a bunch of files to box and those files appear in the "transfer" section of the box drive. They have a "pending" status after the file name and the uploading froze for some reason. Because of this I am not able to sync any file to box anymore. How can I just cancel those "pending files"?

Could someone at Box please answer this question? My recent upload seems to have broken Box and it is now in an endless cycle of trying to transfer and failing. How do you make it stop?

[Edit: I went through and deleted all directories in mac Finder on the Box server that were trying to upload one by one, and then restarted the Box app. Appears to have worked to break the cycle.]
