Dropbox StaffHi Lightfield, happy Tuesday!
Can you send me a screenshot of the error you're referring to?
Have you tried downloading the content using a totally different browser?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there.

Hi Meghan, since this is a thread of similar reports I will summarize.

Monteray Mac OS

A -79 error does not require a screenshot, it is a system file error.
You have a bug. Please pass to a developer.
Any update with this? Same issue with new M1 iMac running Monterey. Files work fine on all other computers (Big Sur).
I've got the same issue - someone please help. Small files, big files, all the same. I don't think it's exclusive to dropbox files though - this is happening even with a zip I made on this machine! Using Monterey... relatively new machine to me...
