    That would have been an error from your Mac then, and nothing to do with Dropbox. Dropbox on your computer is just a folder like any other. If you were copying or moving files into it through Finder, then it's Finder reporting that error.

    If you do a Google search for "Finder error -43" you'll see a lot of results discussing it.

So the solution, to fixing this error would be... restarting my Mac? If the error is on Finder's end it has nothing to do with my folder other than the fact that it is quite big correct? Again thank you for the feeback, appreciate it!

 

Thanks,

    No idea. It's not an error I'm familiar with (not a Mac user). All I can say for certain is that it's not related to Dropbox. There's quite a few sites in the Google search results where this error is discussed in detail.
