No previews and won't import my photos from dropbox on hard drive

Question

Lightroom Classic 11.3Monterey 12.3.1My friend sent me photos, I added them to the Dropbox and they imported just fine.  I have other photos taken on my phone from the same event and I can't get previews and they won't import.    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Classic.  What's the solution? I need to get some work done.

Yes I managed a workaround to finish my work in Preview. No problems opening and I had previews.

Thanks for posting the screen shot. If you are comfortable removing your old catalogs that would free up some space on your drive. Also you may want to pull out your .v11 files from the Corrupt Catalog folder. All of the files with v11in the file name and the Backup folder are the valid files - all other files can be removed.

Create a folder named Lightroom Classic Catalog and move the .v11 files and Backup folder into that folder (in the Pictures folder). Then click on to open the catalog the v11.lrcat file make sure all is as expected. The Corrupt Catalog folder will then contain old irrelevant cat files that will only create a problem if you try to open them so there is no need to hang on to them.

Odd file name syntax on those images that fail. Not so much the dash, but the periods and the spaces. what if you rename them, avoiding the periods and spaces? Perhaps YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.jpg

Not that LrC may not be as allowing with file names as your MACOS.
