Unable to copy from a Dropbox only folder to my laptop - error code 0x80070780

Hi,   I have an archive which exists on Dropbox only (so not a backup synchronized with my PC). When I now try to copy anything from this Dropbox folder to the laptop, I get error code 0x80070780...

Online only. Apart from the pc backup, I have some files archived in a separate folder on Dropbox only.

    That worked 🙂

     

    It's not how things should be, I would expect a simple copy-paste to go without errors, but at least it's a workaround.
