I sometimes copy a full TV series to my iPad, which involves copying ~60 large MP4 files and I do that using Finder in the latest version of macOS. However, I for the life of mine couldn't find a way to check copy progress. As the last resort, I end up using Activity Monitor to see if disk IO is high. Is there a user friendly way, a progress bar or something like that?
Hi bl4ck5un,
It sounds like you're trying to check the status of the progress when you're syncing content from your Mac to your iPhone. We can certainly understand wanting to do that and can definitely help out.
In order to do this, you will just need to make the finder window a little larger and you will see the grey progress bar while the sync is in progress.

Hello bl4ck5un,
We understand that you're referring to the Files section of syncing your iPhone with your Mac. The steps would be the same for each tab on this screen.

No I'm not talking about sync. I'm talking about direct file transfer in "Files" tab.
Thank you. Here is the screenshot of Finder while file transferring is in progress. But I just couldn't see a "grey progress bar". Where should I be looking for?
The only progress "bar" I get with Catalina and my iPhone when syncing music or Photos is this:
