Has anyone seen or solved this error? 
I tried to download:

I have noticed some strangeness when I copy control sheets.

did you click the blue share button on the top right hand corner, then copy the link before adding it to qmp

you get that error if qmp doesn't have permission to your file

Just trying to copy the CSV file to the drive generates this error. But if I try to copy an existing file using QMP, it works great. Strange.

Okay the latest fix I tried was to remove some files from the drive. It looked like there was plenty of space, but the amount of files was causing a problem. I went down from 62 to 59 files, and then it worked.

You've hit a limit in the number of files the quadstick can hold.  The FAT12 file system is limited in the number of files the root folder can hold, particularly when used with a long-file-name system (non 8.3).  Each directory entry takes multiple sectors, instead of just one per file when used with the old DOS OS. 

Maybe someday I can make it FAT32.  That would also be nicer for Android.
