Can Not Copy Google Docs/Sheets from Google Drive to My Computer

I am trying to copy gsheet and gdoc files from Google Drive to my computer using ViceVersa, but I get the error "Invalid Function". Why?

Google Drive file formats are cloud-only files. gdoc and gsheets are shortcuts to the document / sheet and can't be copied locally. If you want a traditional file that you can copy, open and edit locally, you need to use a non-native file format such as .docx .xlsx .pptx etc. You must first download or convert your files to the .docx or .xlsx format before you can copy them to your computer.
