Regarding to the upload process, I would suggest a very cool UX feature:

It would be very nice & shiny, if the current state will be (also) shown as progress bar in the “grippie” area 😉

What do you think?

It’s not a bad idea, there are several platforms where progress bars are melded into parts of the existing UI.

~~This reminds me @awesomerobot the upload indicator is a bit messed up looking on desktop (the X should not be blue, IMO) and mobile (spacing is really off), and could use some attention.~~
