2 years agoSorry to hear about that, trashcaneron.
Does this happen every time you click on the 'copy to Dropbox' button or is it random?
Are you having any issues when downloading the files to your computer as well?
And does this also happen on a private browsing/incognito window?
Keep me posted.

Appears to happen every time. Can not download in browser because file set is large (~300GB). Maybe half the time, it adds to my dropbox, but shows that error anyway.
Not having any issues downloading via local system Dropbox. That's working just fine.
Yes, it does happen in all browsers, incognito included.
