    Thanks for the visual aid here emnu2005 - it's most appreciated while it helps narrow down the issue. 

    I'm afraid it's exactly as I thought as this issue echoes some similar reports we had recently.

    I won't be able to suggest a 3rd party app to un-zip (or un-archive) the zipped folder on your computer but I'm sure you'll get a plenty of results if you run a simple web search. 

    Let me know if you have any additional questions; I'll be happy to follow up!

 [IMAGE LINK IS BROKEN AND CANNOT BE DISPLAYED]. 

I've tried downloading from the file saved in my Dropbox and directly from the link to her Dropbox account (not logged into mine) and get the same error. I've also tried saving the zip file to my desktop and also my external storage (thinking maybe I don't have enough space on my computer to open the file, as I know it's huge - although I don't think that's the problem) and still get the same error. 

I've always only used Archive Utility to unzip files. Can you suggest another program to try?

    How is the "Accepted solution" a solution at all? There is no solution provided. Thanks for nothing, Dropbox.
