We discussed this already, but there isn't currently an option for the user to quit the upload and explicitly cancel the upload. Places where I would see this option: * at the bottom left, like a counterpart to the "next" button * on step 2, for people who want to cancel it because they don't know, or because they made a mistake
I disagree with the need, and agree with the sentiment expressed here: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20000416.html
Well, I do agree with this article as well (and many other articles from useit's alertbox), and it seems to support the need for a cancel button: « Offer a Cancel button when users may fear that they have committed to something they want to avoid. Having an explicit way to Cancel provides an extra feeling of safety that is not afforded by simply leaving. Cancel is mainly useful for multi-step dialogs where the user has progressed past one or more pages with actions. At this time, pressing the Back button will not undo these actions and it would be better if the user would click Cancel. » This is exactly our case. Users are going to upload one or several files and they may want to cancel the upload if they feel they didn't understand the copyright terms right, for example. Besides, our upload wizard is indeed a "multi-step dialog where the user has progress past one of more pages with actions".
