Copied
I am currently working on a larger project (about 3 tb) and have imported all of my footage into premiere and made proxies. I am now trying to use premiere's project manager feature to copy those proxied files so I can send them to another team member. The project was too big to fit on my computer at once, so I split it up into smaller sequences that could fit on my local storage until being uploaded to dropbox. However, some of these sequences seem to simply be refusing to be copied by project manager. I have enough room for them, but the process fails before it can be completed. Sometimes the error message tells me the file path is too long, and sometimes it tells me that it's an unkown error.
I also cannot find all of the proxied files in one place on my computer to copy them manually, I thought I had set up a file path to consolodate them when I started the process but it doesn't seem like it worked. Any advice would be very appreciated at this point.

The help guide says that "the Proxy workflow is not supported for interchange options such as Project Manager, Render and Replace, AAF, Final Cut Pro XML, EDL, OMF, and so on. You lose Proxy attachment for these functions." You can find more details here: Proxy Workflow in Premiere Pro.
You mentioned that "The project was too big to fit on my computer at once, so I split it up into smaller sequences"—I’m curious about what you mean by that. Are you talking about the project file? How big was it, and how did you split it up?
It might be best to either manually copy the proxies to the new location or re-encode them from your Premiere project. If you can share a bit more detail, we might be able to offer more specific advice.
