Description
When copying/moving large files, there is no progress bar shown other than a spinner (which goes away if you reload the page). When you have to move several folders sequentially, sometimes you forget and move the same folder (which results in an error).
It should at least display some kind of progress bar and a notification after the operation is complete. A drop down menu in the top navigation bar that displays an overlay on mouseover which lists each transfer with a progress bar would be nice.

Research direction
Start by tracing the current file copy, move, and delete flow from its spinner and reload behavior, then identify the top-navigation entry point for transfer status. Done would provide visible progress for transfers and a completion notification, with multiple transfers distinguishable in an overlay.
