Error when copying anything from Dropbox (monterey, 2020 m1 MBP)
Whenever I try to copy a folder from the local Dropbox folder to another folder in my Mac, I get this error: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)...
Well, I have some additional information that allowed me to complete the copying.
After copying files in small pieces I found the problem file. It was some kind of a database for an oscilloscope. The file ended with .db, this document does not run on a Mac anyway. I deleted it. Hopefully next time when I back up, I'll have smooth sailing. It's really a shame that the Mac OS can't report the file it’s having trouble with, instead it just chokes and gives an error code which is useless for the average user.
That's such a painful process.
I tried just creating an empty folder in Dropbox, and tried copying this folder (without any files within) to my Macbook's local hard drive. Same error message popped up.

Hi same problem her, I am using a m16go ram Air M1 on VENTURA 13.2.1
Each Tim I tru to copy on an external drive my for example music folder (with is quiet huge), everything run normally but at the end I end up with this frustrating error :
any ideas to get back my files would be appreciated.
Faithfully.Many people have this problem. Dropbox support people respond multiple times, but never post a solution. I used to trust Dropbox for years, but with this attitude that trust is evaporating quickly.
