Which digiKam version are you using exactly? The Ubuntu version is a Snap package. Snap packages use a sandbox and restrict digiKam to the local home directory.

Please look in your target folder with a file manager that you selected when downloading with the import tool. Are there any files here with the "digikamtempfile" part in the name?

Another note: In the Import Tool, a history view can be activated (View menu). This appears under the icon view. Errors during downloading are also listed here if files cannot be copied. If you are still having problems, please activate this history view and see if any files have been skipped.
