Hi guys! I have found a solution (after trying everything else like different programs, Windows, etc. etc.). Not sure whether it recovers all the files; but the filesize of the zip is at least equal!
In Mac OS Terminal write:zip -FF /Users/fd/Musikmixe.zip --out /Users/fd/Musikmixe2.zip
It will create a new zip. Of course replace "/Users/fd/Musikmixe.zip" by your file.

Thanks so much for this answer. It worked for me and i have recovered hundreds of photos from my travels. If you are ever in nz let me know and i will buy you a beer!
Big shout out to mactorque who sorted it for me since i can hardly even turn a Mac on!
Its crazy that dropbox was not able to help with this issue.
Before you posted this I managed to get in touch with dropbox customer support which took a bit of hunting! However they repeatedly told me the fault was my doing, didn't believe what was happening to me and offered no solution!
Thanks so much!
