Not sure the way how you want to implement it. Here are some references for you:

• Report file uploading progress from your web app's front side (webpage) to your backend server

  • By jQuery: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48516883/7745569
  • By XMLHttpRequest.upload: How to get progress from XMLHttpRequest

• Report file uploading progress from your web app's backend server to Forge service

  • Node.js: https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/nailing-large-files-uploads-forge-resumable-api
  • .NET: https://github.com/yiskang/ForgeResumableUploadProgressDemo/blob/master/ForgeResumableUploadProgressDemo/Program.cs#L47

• For reporting Forge translation progress, you can take advantage of the WebHooks for Model Derivative API extraction.updated. Check this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62531405/7745569

Once you got the progress data, you can use WebSocket to deliver the progress data from your server to the frontend side ( your viewer page), then use some technics like bootstrap progress bar, JavaScript progress bar and etc. to display your progress data.
