Dropbox StaffHi jkrieger1, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just to check, were the files available offline on your computer, or were they online-only when you created the transfer?
This will help me to assist further!
Not sure if I fully understand your question. The files were on my Mac locally. When I created the Transfer, I selected these 387 files. Dropbox Transfer uploaded them then I gave the transfer a name, then copied the link for the client to use to download from. When the client clicks on the link, all they see is zero bytes and no thumbnail list window. When I returned to see my transfer dashboard and I was seeing the same thing. The first time I did set password. So I tried it all over again, but this time no password in case it was interferring. But I see the same results. I have used Dropbox Tranfser a number of times (with much fewer files mostly under 100 video clips but larger file sizes) successfully.

Were files originally in your Dropbox folder, or from another location on your machine?
From my local hard drive on my Mac. I directed Dropbox Transfer to upload from my hard drive.

Depending on your Dropbox subscription, the file size limits can be seen in this article.
Could you try switching browsers and create the Dropbox Transfer there to see if this helps?
