1Enter Current Volume Label for Drive. | Fix the File Is Too Large For The Destination File System
Windows may have gotten much better at managing space but it isn’t without the odd problem now and again. I was asked the other day to fix an issue a customer had when moving files between their hard drive and an external drive. They kept seeing ‘file too large for destination file system’ errors. Here is how I fixed it for them.
Issues addressed in this tutorial:
file is too large for the destination file
the file is too large for the destination file system
file is too large for the destination file system usb
why does a file say it's too large for destination
how to fix file too large for destination file system
usb drive file too large for destination file system
file size too large for destination file system
copy file is too large for the destination file system
file is too large for the destination file system error
file too large for destination file system pendrive error
The “The File is Too Large for the Destination File System” error message comes up when you try to copy a file over 4GB to a hard driver formatted with FAT32 file system.
Unfortunately, FAT32 file system can take a maximum file size of 4GB. I hear you say “but I have over 4GB space in my USB stick!”.
