My Dropbox Transfer doesn't have my files on them as they're 0 bytes each
I am transferring 387 video file clips (total only 600 MB). After I created transfer, and it completed uploading from my Mac. It kept saying total 0 bytes and no thumbnails shown for any of the files. My client were not able to download anything from it. I tried several times.

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?
