Description
Expected behaviour
Uploading files should actually upload them.
Actual behaviour
Files just wait in queue as “Waiting to upload” or “In upload”, whatever that means. Can’t upload new files. Can’t manually start the uploads.

Steps to reproduce
Not sure, just uploaded 50 photos from the Photos app using “Save to Files”. The first 39 worked, and then the rest got stuck.
iOS version

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the upload queue behavior with iOS 13.2.3, app version 2.25.0, and a batch of photos saved from Photos to Files; done means queued files upload successfully and can be started manually.
