Your file is stuck at 0% when uploading to Google Drive
Check your internet speed, check you have storage space available, and try uploading from the Google Drive website instead of the app.
Uploads get stuck because your drive is full, your internet is too slow, or the app has a glitch. Most fix by clearing space, checking speed, or using the web version. Large files genuinely take a long time. Be patient.
