Save uploads hang on exit - fault or just slow?

I'm having issues with exiting Retrox (on Nvidia Shield TV 2017) after a session, it is probably due to my abysmal upload speeds (usually under 30kbyte/s)
The application shows the spinning icon in the top right of the screen, but without a progress bar I don't know when it is working and when it has hung.
Sometimes it appears to hang, I give it a few minutes then just force quit as i run out of time, resulting in no saves uploaded or corrupted files.
I then have to manually sync my saves with the Shield and my phone as the versions uploaded to the Retrox server are out of date or broken.
Thankfully Retrox seems to realize the local saves are more recent than the cloud saves and doesn't attempt to download them, but a progress bar or perhaps way to only upload/sync on request would be super helpful to those of us with poor internet.
Many applications are fine uploading in the background on a phone, but the shield TV seems to limit that sort of activity greatly, whereas on the phone I can just switch to another app and the upload runs in the background happily.
I don't know if there is a fault here, or if it is just a very slow process that I need to leave for 15 minutes before I can switch to another application.
