Hi all,
Using iPadOS 26.6 and Pages. Saving a file in the iCloud causes "upload error" icon in Files, but it appears the files are still properly uploaded. Network connection is fine, no interruptions. Error does not show on iPhone nor on Mac. I have been ignoring this without any consequences thus far, but it's an annoyance. Any suggestions?
TIA
iPad Pro, iPadOS 26
This phantom upload error on iPadOS is typically caused by a localized metadata or cache desynchronization in the iPad's Files app, where the daemon responsible for tracking upload states fails to clear a transient flag even though the actual document transmission via Pages succeeded.
Try to force restart the files app to see if the issues persist
Swipe up from the bottom of your iPad screen, pause in the middle, then swipe up on the Files app preview card to close it completely.

Thanks for the quick response Nick,
tried that, no success. I had more than 20 Files windows open, closed them all, re-booted the iPad and re-loaded Files. Still, the upload error icon persists, but file changes appear to be processed properly. Any further suggestions?
Thanks, Jürgen
