Show long-running tasks management section in Dropbox web
In Dropbox web, when moving many files or organising many files, it would be very helpful to have a section dedicated for tracking these long-running, async operations which is persistent.
This is not the same as the toast progress bar. That one gets destroyed if you leave the tab, navigate to the account settings page or just come back after a while. I mean a persistent section tracking the progress of long-running operations and allowing some controls such as "abort" or track more prominently. If failures occur, they should also appear in this section, differently from the progress toast we have today which can simply be gone if you come back to the tab after a while, leaving you confused as to why some photos still weren't moved.
Secondly, it's very common that moving 1000+ photos in Dropbox fails silently. We have to retry the long-running operations over and over and over until all photos are really moved. Ideally this would be better tracked in the section mentioned above with a simple way to retry, if not automatic.
