What happens if a cloud upload fails during a Data Parking move?

Short answer: The failed file stays on your Mac and is parked in Data Transfers with a plain-English reason, while the rest of the move continues. Fix the cause — reconnect or sign in again — then retry it from More → Data Transfers.

The file that failed stays on your Mac and is parked in Data Transfers with a plain-English reason — for example the network dropped or the account needs signing in again — while the rest of the move carries on.

Fix the cause (reconnect, or sign in again in Remotes & Accounts), then retry it from More → Data Transfers. Originals are only removed after their upload has landed, so nothing is lost in between.
