Dropbox StaffHey lulu_optics, sorry to jump in here!
Have you tried breaking them into smaller bunches? Can you it a go, and let me know how it goes?

Hi lulu_optics, do you have the option to choose which files to copy, instead of copying the entire folder?
Can you send me some screenshots of the steps you follow on your end, and the error message you get?
Hi, I don't have the option to choose which files to copy. Next is the screenshot about the mistake.

Hey lulu_optics, sorry to jump in here.
I'm afraid that when accessing a shared link there are no check boxes to select multiple files. You either need to download the entire folder, if it's not too large, or download the files individually.
Alternatively, you can add the folder to your own account (if you're signed in and have the space) and then you'd be able to select multiple files as normal).
I hope this clears things up!
