Do you get the error message "File too large" when you try to copy files to your USB memory stick, even though you have plenty of space?
The problem may be that your drive is formatted with the FAT32 file system. In this video I'll show you how to format the drive with ExFAT, so that you can store larger files on it.

Wow. Who knew i could learn so much in 3 mins?! Straight to the point and no beating around the bushes. Thank you very much sir! I followed your instructions to the T. Will certainly be following you.

@iamuni4762 2 года назад

Thanks Dave - so quick and easy and straight to the point - i have a 17GB video and it wouldn't copy over to 32GB. I have just followed the steps you were just talking about and it is copying now! Thank you! God bless you as you continue to help others like me!

@Rohrbacher14 5 лет назад

Thank you! I was getting frustrated trying to figure out how to move my 12GB video file to my brand new 32GB USB. I knew there was space for the file and that it would be possible with some form of formatting. Awesome video!

@DiscoMatty79 3 года назад

Dude, thank you. Everyone said wanted to say. Straight forward, short, no beating around the bush. Best tutorial ever!

@CNMS501 Год назад

OH MY GOODNESS! Not only a FIX, but your explanation, delivery, and examples could NOT have TURNED my dilemma into memory any easier! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! I'm sending you an AIR HUG!!!🤗 You ARE appreciated!

@xinchen6571 Год назад

I have external USB drive format in Fat32. Fat32 disk format support upto only 4 GB file. HD movies are more than 4 GB, which can't transfer to external USB drive format in Fat32 connected to Android TV. while NTFS and exFAt can support file bigger than 4 GB. Android TV do not support NTFS and ExFat format. What is the solution.

@LegitimateFlamingo 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this! This was so simple, easy to follow, and solved my issue perfectly. 11/10 stars.

@zimmy1088 2 года назад

Thank you for the clear and concise explanation. This was driving me nuts trying to copy a 5 gig power point presentation to a 16 gig memory stick and not knowing what was wrong.

@theskargul 2 года назад

Excellent! I was trying to copy a movie file 24GB to a 32GB drive with nothing else on it and was very confused why there wasn't enough space. Detailed explanation and easy to follow step by step. Thanks!

@enraegen561 Год назад

Thanks! I really appreciate the clear and short video! It is somewhat hard to come by now, that people try to stretch their tutorials for 10+ minutes for something simple. Please keep this straight forward format, it is so nice! Also you helped me so thanks for that in the first place :D I will also give you a like, so hopefully your videos are more recommended instead of clickbait tech content

thanks so much - helped a lot. My drive was already on ExFAT, but the allocation units size was set to 128kilobytes - i increased it and it worked like a charm. Great quick and easy to follow video

@livettheking Год назад

what allocation size did you set it to? I need to get a 7gb zip file onto my usb but it's already formatted as exFAT.

@clayguy1 Год назад

Thank you so much.. This fix worked.. when I clicked format.. it showed the exfat already selected.. even though I had problems downloading a large file.. I clicked quick format, and it worked.. You're a life saver sir...

Thank you. I almost didn't bother with the formatting of a thumb drive I was having this problem with because when I went to format, my options were NFTS and exFat32, no Fat32. But I did and it fixed the problem. And thanks for a nice clean help video with no overpowering soundtrack playing in the background!!!
