I am trying to copy a 4.26 Gb file to a USB HDD.
The copy proceeds okk then it stops with a message to the effect that there >is not enough space on the destination disk.
Wiztree shows that the destination disk has 1.2 Tb free.
Can anyone throw any light on this ?
TIA

Just copied a folder size 27.4 Gb with no problems.
Must be something wrong with the file.

Thanks for all the help.
I reformatted the HDD as NTFS and the file copied with no problem.

Depending on intended usage, exFAT can be a better alternative for
external media.

That's a good point. The USB port in my car will handle exFAT but not
NTFS. A quick Google search shows Macs can handle exFAT but not NTFS.
