The Uploads tab in Sequence Shuttle's Settings window is a live list of every file currently moving from a mounted project (a local drive that appears in Finder, showing your project's files) up to the cloud. You never have to start an upload yourself — Shuttle notices the moment you save or copy a file onto that drive and begins sending it to the cloud in the background, with no button to click first.
When nothing is uploading, the tab shows No Active Uploads, letting you know there's nothing waiting to go up right now. As soon as a file starts moving, the tab switches to a list of rows, with a header line above it — something like "3 files active" — showing how many files are in play, plus a combined byte count when the total size is known. Each row carries a color-coded status: Transferring In while Shuttle is still writing the file to your local disk, before the upload itself has started; Queued while it waits its turn; Uploading while it's actively sending data to the cloud; and Paused if Shuttle has temporarily set it aside — for example, to free up bandwidth while you're playing back media. Queued, uploading, and paused rows all show a progress bar, a running byte count, and a percentage, so you can see roughly how far along a file is. If an upload doesn't go through, its row switches to Failed, alongside an error message explaining what went wrong. Once a file's upload finishes, Shuttle stops counting it among your active uploads, and it becomes a normal cloud-stored file in the project, no different from anything else there.
Note
Rows in the Uploads list are for monitoring only — there's no cancel, retry, or pause control for an individual file. Shuttle handles retries and pacing on its own, automatically resuming after network hiccups without you needing to step in.
Downloads work the same way in reverse: when you open or scrub a file that's stored in the cloud, Shuttle fetches only the parts it needs and always prioritizes what you're actively watching over anything it's quietly pulling down in the background, so playback stays smooth. If your local disk starts filling up, Shuttle frees space on its own by clearing out cached data rather than letting a download fail.
Settings also has a Show completed jobs until next session toggle, which controls how long finished jobs stay visible elsewhere in Shuttle before they clear out — see the Shuttle settings reference for where to find it and what else lives there.
Once you know how a file moves through this list, it's worth understanding what happens to storage on your Mac while all this is going on, covered in Intro to local caching and storage, and where the Uploads tab sits among Shuttle's other controls, in The menu bar icon and menu.
