Any additional information will be much appreciated!

I created a new folder on the Dropbox website, dragged a folder from my laptop, and dropped it onto the new DB folder - I then got an error that 200+ files from my laptop would not be copied into DB with the error explanation pasted into my first posting.

The mentioned file types are the ones affected by this @joe33478.
If you bump into this error again when trying to upload your files through our website, could you send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too?
