How to Fix: Copy a 4GB or larger file to a USB flash drive or memory card

Fix the error: 'The file is too large for the destination file system'.

Why can't transfer a 4GB or larger file to USB flash drive or memory card?
This is due to FAT32 limitation. Files larger than 4GB can NOT be stored on a FAT32 volume. Formatting the flash drive as exFAT or NTFS will resolve this issue.

Quick, easy to follow, and no extraneous crap. Loved it. Thank you.

It worked for me too! If you see that exFAT is already in the textbox, you can still click format and it should work! I did this for my PS5.

Perfect video. Worked quick and efficiently for me to move files off my PS5 and onto my desktop to edit and upload to YT. Thank you!

What if "format" doesn't show up in the menu after right clicking on the USB drive icon?

now can you do that prior to formatting the drive?

That is wild. Your file is 2:34:29. Mine is 2:36:45. Thank you so much! It worked! Now hopefully the file will play on the stupid philips divx dvd player. The long xvid files, like this one stop playing at 1:28:00 or so, so I converted to MPEG. We shall see.

Nope. The philips player will not even recognize the file. It freaks out and jumps between Read USB and Stop. I'm stumped.
