Finalizing when uploading

This morning I was able to upload x5 small less than 5mb pdfs without any problems.  Then about an hour later I tried, and it seems to get stuck "Finalizing".  I looked thru the forum, and tried some suggestions, however, I still can't upload files.  I have tried different small files(less than 5mb), but it still has the same issue.

 

I have tried chrome's incognito, I tried clearing the cache, I have tried Edge, but I still get stuck on "Finalizing".  My upload speed is roughly 800kbps.  Some might consider that slow.

 

Can someone enlighten regarding what dropbox's API is doing while "Finalizing" message is displayed?  I would like to fix this myself, but it's a blackbox right now.
