Please confirm your specific Lightroom version name and number (do Help>System Info to verify).

 

I assume this is happening when you try to import new images, is that correct? A screenshot of the error message would be helpful.

So how many images were you importing at the time? Did any images import, or did that set of 30 comprise the whole import. The most likely explanation is that there is an issue of some description relating to the folder that is the specified location for imported images to be copied to. Lightroom first copies all new imports into the designated location on a local hard drive before it starts to upload them to the cloud, so a problem with that location could presumably cause the error. Check that there is adequate free space on the hard drive which contains the designated folder. If you haven't set a specific location, the default location will be inside the local Lightroom library which is always on your system drive.
