Taking forever to upload files

Earlier I uploaded 196 files, and it took maybe 5 or more minutes. Now I'm uploading 132 files, and it's literally taking forever and I don't understand why. Does anyone have a guess?
 
What are the sizes of the files and what is your internet upload speed? (you can check with SpeedTest)

Your animated gif files seem to be pretty big. You should really look at reducing the file sizes.
 
They are mostly all pictures, there are like 6 videos though.

Downloads are about 16 Mbps, and upload is about 9.73

The speeds seem reasonable, but the file types don't tell me a whole lot about the size. Videos do tend to be much larger, but it's all relative.
 
They are about 1 - 1 and a half or less minute videos.

I think something's wrong, because it's literally been doing it for like an hour, maybe reboot my device?

I tried force stopping drive, but nothing. When I go into Google drive, there is just a blue loading circle, and I can't interact with anything at all.

Tried rebooting, I don't think it helped.

Did you actually check to see if your drive account was full? You do have a limit as to how much space you can use for free.
 
I'm trying uploading it to a different account, I don't think it's working.
 
I assume you are connecting to the internet through your home WiFi. That account might have a bandwidth limit on it and if you go over it for the month they throttle the account back to very slow speeds.

After lots of time this happened
 
I don't know if it would help to say that I'm uploading photos from Google photos.
 
You are uploading from Photos to Drive? That should happen pretty quickly.

You might want to wait a few hours in case the server(s) are having issues today.
 
I think it's just my account, because I tried using one of my other accounts to upload to drive, and it worked fine.
