Skip file option for uploading

When you upload files that are already uploaded, onedrive.com will show 2 options, to replace the file or to keep both.

These 2 options can also be done for all files with the problem. Check the screenshot here: http://1drv.ms/1r2sNSV

I wish there was a third option where I can cancel uploading all the files that are already there leaving behind the ones that haven't been uploaded. To cancel uploading files I have to manually cancel each and every file.

You might ask why am I uploading files again. Well, more often than not, some files get uploaded while others don't in one session. I cannot know which file uploaded and which didn't since this is random. So I upload all again.

I hope this is clear

    I wish this should have been in the fist place. It's basic. I wonder what kind of UAT is done while implementing. Please give this option as soon as possible.

    Yup, I vote for this too - as would anyone with any common-sense. It's a glaring omission and makes Onedrive a pain in the **** to use, particularly when uploading large numbers of files on a flaky connection!

    AND - provide file compare tool to check if files uploaded successfully for those of use keeping copy locally

    Totally agree! Ridiculous that this functionality is not there.

    Unbelievable that in 2019 they still DON'T have this function....WTF!

    I'm looking for alternative cloud storage based on this alone.
