Google Takeout .zip is invalid
Hi, I used Google Takeout to try to get all my photos off of Google. Ended up with 10 .zip files in Dropbox. I downloaded those .zip files to an external hard drive. However, when I go to open the .zip files, I receive the error message:
"The Compressed (zipped) Folder 'E:\Google Takeout Backup.zip................' is invalid."
I searched these forums and found a couple threads with similar issues from 2015 and 2018, and it seems the only answer back then was "Dropbox is aware of the issue and working on it." Anyone know if there is a fix for this now? Or of a better way I can get all of my photos out of Google Photos?
If I missed a more recent thread, sorry, I just don't ever use forums and whatnot.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Hi xairvitals; welcome to the Dropbox Community and happy Monday!
Can you please let me know how large are the mentioned zip files?
Also, could you try downloading them through another browser and/or try another program to unzip them and let me know if you still get the same error?
Let me know what you find!
