Importer Reported A Generic Error - Dropbox

Hi there,

So i am working on a variety on lot's of different projects within premiere pro and there are lot's of different files that take up a lot of space so all the files are uploaded to Dropbox.

But every single project when linking the media in PP displays the 'Importer Reported A Generic Error' message. I always check i have locally installed or downloaded for access offline and the files are compatible with premiere pro ect but it always displays this message, meaning that i have to either rename or duplicate 100s of GB everytime which takes forever. Is there any fix for this that doensn't require me to either dupliacted or rename every indivudal file ? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated or for Adobe to fix this issue
