"Cancelled" tab in upload pop-up of the Webapp interface
It would be really great to have a "Cancelled" tab when uploading files to Proton Drive. Let me explain.
Currently, when uploading files (especially if it is a very large number of files) you get a small pop-up showing you the progress of your upload.
The pop-up has four (4) tabs:
1) All
2) Active
3) Completed
4) Failed
CONTEXT:
However, let's say you were uploading a very large folder (e.g., 30-50GB) which included thousands of files. For some reason, the upload was interrupted and did not finish completely. When you try to re-upload the large folder, most people will want to skip the already-uploaded files and will most likely choose to do so when they are prompted to select it.
THE PROBLEM:
When you are skipping hundreds or thousands of files in a scenario like the one described above, all the "Skipped" files will appear in the "Failed" tab, indicating that their upload process was 'Cancelled' (because we chose to skip these). However, this largely skewes the ability of the user to identify files that actually failed to be uploaded and you have to scroll for ages looking for a needle in the haystack.
SOLUTION:
Either have a separate tab for Cancelled/Skipped files, or have a toggle button in the current "Failed" tab that when toggled would show only the files that failed to upload.

Another option, is instead of having a "Restart All" button in the "Failed" tab, there could be another button called "Restart Failed".
