What does the Data Transfers row in Services mean when it says waiting or failed?
Short answer: Idle means ready; Running shows active transfers; Waiting for drive needs your external drive plugged in; queued may be waiting on sign-in or network; failed earlier means open Data Transfers to review.
The Data Transfers row reports the engine behind the Data Transfers window:
- Idle — ready when you queue a transfer.
- Running N transfers — busy, with how many more are queued.
- Waiting for drive — a transfer needs your external drive; plug it in.
- Queued (yellow) — sign-in or network conditions may be delaying the start.
- Idle · N failed earlier — open Data Transfers to review the failed jobs.
