Steps to reproduce

1. select multiple files (about 500 photos in my case) and "share to nextcloud"
2. upload starts but never finishes
3. checkin in app, the available space indcator is red, but the app stubbornly tries to upload over and over again although all files now fail to upload
4. there's long list of pending uploads but it is impossible to cancel a single upload, let alone all
5. only way to solve is to kill nextcloud app, find it's hidden folder and delete all files to be uploaded

Expected behaviour

1. recognize and deal apropriately with "no space left on server" -- after all the "space left" indicator DOES show that there's no space left, and yet the app does not use that info
2. do not attempt failed uploads over and over again -- "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome is a sure sign of madness". Instead depending on the error either cancel all pending uploads (as in case of no space left -- if one file doesn't fit anymore, more than one file will certainly not fit either), or cancel after X attempts and log the file and error to be shown to the user with one or more options to deal with it

Actual behaviour

App recognizes that there#S no space left, but stubbornly tries to upload nevertheless, repeating each failed file over an over again. There's no way inside the to cancel those uploads.
