File too large for the destination folder error.

[Miltoid19]

I try to move a 6,51 gb files from my SSD to en external hard drive free are 654 GB out of 931 GB (1T) when I move the file it fails and gives me this message file too large for the destination folder error.

P.S. The file is not corrupted.

did you check the file format of the external drive? sounds like its not NTFS but prob fat32 since fat32 systems files cant be larger than 4gb, need NTFS for that

i should prob have mentioned, if you do want to move the file to the external, you can just re-format it from fat32 into NTFS,
ofc you should backup any data on the drive/move the files, first if you want to keep the data

or optionally you can convert it, tho that takes a good deal longer time, especially if its a large drive with lots of data
use and run command prompt as administrator and type:
convert *drive letter*: /FS:NTFS

you insert your external drives drive letter where it says *drive letter* of if your external drive is marked E it says:
convert E: /FS:NTFS

I just moving the date to another hard drive and when it is done Ill format it with the window tool.
(right click on the drive > format... and I thing you know the rest)
