Preparing to Upload Endlessly
I don't know what my One Drive is doing, but the status is always "Preparing to upload" for more than 2 hours now. Nothing is being uploaded and nothing is being downloaded. No information as well about the total files that are already being processed.
I already have a million files successfully synchronized between my HDD and OneDrive. I'm just trying to synchronize new files to the cloud from my HDD. You can see there's 1266 files remaining, but it does not decrease for more than 2 hours.
If I reset it using the command line as stated in this link below, then it will try to process a million file from the beginning. Thus a new round of endless "Processing files" will begin but it will not finish within 8 hours. It's not reasonable because I'm using a PC and not a server.

Fyi, I have very fast internet speed as shown below.
What should I do?
