    Thanks for the visual aid here emnu2005 - it's most appreciated while it helps narrow down the issue. 

    I'm afraid it's exactly as I thought as this issue echoes some similar reports we had recently.

    I won't be able to suggest a 3rd party app to un-zip (or un-archive) the zipped folder on your computer but I'm sure you'll get a plenty of results if you run a simple web search. 

    Let me know if you have any additional questions; I'll be happy to follow up!

Hello emnu2005; welcome to our Community!

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues while trying to access a zipped folder that was downloaded from our website. Can you send me a screenshot of the exact error you get so I can have a visual too?

Also, could you try another software other than the one you originally used to access this zip file and let me know if you're still getting the same error?

Thanks!

Dropbox -- it is completely unacceptable that I cannot download a file from my account and then ou say I need to download some other third party app to unzip a file??!!??  Are you serious?  I dn't have time for this clown show and there fore the solution is to QUIT DROPBOX immediately (I recommend everyone here do so) and use Google Drive.  It's unconscienable that I cannot download and unzip on my Mac given that you are a storage site.  I am now completely SCREWED not being able to get a project done by deadline this morning.   The only solutions here are the dowload winzip... I have a Mac.  Dropbox you are FIRED and I will never use or recommend you for anyone, anytime EVER.
