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

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.
