Writer • .odt file has properties that can't be copied to a USB jump drive

Hello, I searched the forums different ways but could not find this addressed. I am trying to copy all my Writer files of my novels, including my fourth one I'm working on, to a USB jump drive. This is needed because I thought I'd been saving them to Dropbox, but there are problems getting into my Dropbox account, the one I thought I'd been saving them to. Either they're in another account under an email address which I no longer have, or they never synched up with the web form? OneDrive on my Windows 10 laptop doesn't seem to help, either. Getting back to my USB drive message, it is asking me if I am sure I want to copy the file without its properties? "The file [Novel Title].odt has properties that can't be copied to the new location." Which properties will not be copied? Would this cause a problem in working on it and saving it on my new Windows 11 computer? How about when it comes time to export it as a PDF to the online publisher? Is it worth it to copy it, or will it only take up a bit of space on the drive but not be useful to publish in unaffected, uncorrupted form when the time comes?
