Cancel/pause upload option

under consideration

Aemyn Connolly

Sometimes I need to stop or pause an upload because it was either a mistaken file, or I am using a bad internet connection and need to pause it to make my system useable, but I can't just close Descript because I still want to work on an existing composition.

need the ability to delete/restart screenshare recording too

I definitely agree with all the comments. This is absolutely crazy that there is no way to cancel an upload. I thought it was just a me problem that it takes soooo long for videos to upload and download from descript, but I see that it's not. Please fix this ASAP!!

Cancel Upload

Hi there I need a way to stop uploads. Things often get stuck partway through and it slows everything down. Plus it's very frustrating when I accidentally upload the file and I have to sit there and wait until it's done before I can delete it and use the right one. Thanks!

How has this still not been fixed?!
I have subscribed to Descript for a whole year and paid the 12 months upfront to commit to learning it. Everything about it is great and the improvements are awesome. New features, etc.
But I cannot use it due to one deal-breaking feature (lack of)... the ability to cancel or turn off auto-upload of any files.
I want to edit and caption my podcasts here but I cannot upload 3 x 50gb raw files for different camera angles and wait for the 150gb of data to upload to a cloud I will never use.
My subscription is due to renew next month (October 2024) and I will be not renewing it.
Descript admin/managers please know that your app is fantastic but this minor thing has me going elsewhere until you have it fixed.

If clip is deleted from file browser, stop it uploading

I accidentally dragged in two of the same file to a project (two very large ones). I realised my error straight away, and deleted one, but still they both continue to upload in the queue.
There is no way to remove one from the queue.
Seems a bit of a waste, and a pain as I cannot publish my project until they are bot finished!
Perhaps there should be de-duping too?

Gabe Michalski Thank you for considering this! I'd like to highlight that people have been consistently asking for this feature multiple times a month since the start of the year.

Gabe Michalski How is this issue STILL not fixed? It's unbelievably clunky, inefficient, and frustrating. Fixing it should be top priority.

I wish I did not have to move back to Adobe, but this issue is operationally critical. You limit our transcription hours, but do not allow us to cancel processing. A simple error can result in a month long wait. That's a form of punishment. This thread is more about basic functionality than any sort of feature upgrade.
