It would be great if the error explained that.

Agreed, but like most software, those explanations are always buried deep within Guides, etc. I recently installed Dropsync on my Chromebook to help me download items to Dropbox. Turns out the file extension isn't supported by Dropbox. So I tried deleting, moving, dropping and dragging ... all the usual solutions to get the file to disappear. No luck. It's now frozen in Dropbox. I determined I couldn't delete it because it's a shared file (owned by another person), and that's part of the issue. Lesson learned. At least I didn't try to sync the other 50 files in the same format that were available!

Today I learned that if you are trying to move files/folders from one location locally available on your computer (via selective sync) to another location not locally available, you will get that error message.
