Hey frozenstein, did you manage to resolve the issue now?
I'm assuming the culprit here might be the space on your C: drive.
Provided that the issue remains, feel free to send me a couple of screenshots of the available space on the drive that you're copying from, and one from the drive you're copying to.
I want to copy some photos, about 165 GB, I select all -> copy and paste over the external hard drive. Takes a while for 31700 photos to appear on the copy message, but as soon as it reaches that number, it says the message I sent above. I tried to copy them on another partition on my local drive, I had the same issue. The problem, I think it's from not having enough space on my C drive where the photos are stored (that is the dropbox folder where it was installed, and I had 130 GB free). So I manually selected some photos where I cut and paste to make up more space to sync the other ones... Initially, some 25000 photos were green checked marked and the remaining ones were still on the cloud, but my hard drive was still indicating 130 GB free space... Anyway, I think that was the issue.
