iCloud drive upload hangs

For several days now the upload from my iMac running Catalina is stuck on uploading a number of items to iCloud. What can I do to fix it?

Try going to System Preferences/Apple ID and stop iCloud syncing by unchecking the box. Wait a couple of minutes, then check syncing. Allow time for the sync to complete.


Last resort  - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in? Sign out at the bottom of the Apple ID preference. There should be a sign out button.
