The problem has been reported several times regarding a file that is too big to upload.  No solution has been offered so I am wondering what tis thee point of this forum.  It seems counter productive just to tell the first person who asks but not allow any one else to know how to tackle the problem.  The really annoying part is the heading is:- 

"How to Stop an Upload 

Completed"   If only others could be allowed to know what completed entailed.  John

Short version:  If the upload is happening via the Box web application, there's an option to cancel in the status bar.  If the upload is happening via Box Drive, then log out of Box Drive, exit and restart Box Drive, then log back in.
