How to Resume a Google Drive Upload

Using the Mobile App

Open Drive on your smartphone or tablet. If you’re using an iPhone, you’ll usually find it on the home screen. If you have an Android, it’s typically in the app drawer.

Tap the grayed-out file that says Upload paused. This automatically resumes the upload from where it was paused.

Using a Computer

Click the Backup & Sync icon. It’s the cloud with an arrow inside. If you’re using Windows, you’ll find it near the bottom-right corner of the screen in the task bar. If you have a Mac, it’s in the menu bar near the top-right corner of the screen.

Click ⁝. It’s at the top-right corner of the Backup & Sync panel. A list of your paused uploads will appear.

Click Resume. The selected upload is now resumed.
