Technology has made our lives easier in recent times. The general public is provided with new and better technology that allows us to live a stress-free life. Smartphones and laptops/PCs continue to be the most helpful electronics to date. Both of these industries have experienced rapid growth. However, in this post, we'll concentrate on the latter's one helpful feature that requires an additional attachment.

Flash drives, often known as USB drives, are what we're talking about. These little external drives are useful for storing extra data and transferring data from one laptop/PC to another. Their usage hasn't been limited to laptops and PCs now. The modern days smart TVs and audio accessories also now support USB drives for media playback.

While copying a file to a Flash/ USB drive is as simple as copy paste, there are instances when you might get errors while transferring data; specifically with the files sized larger than 4GB. This is one of the issues which is commonly reported by users across. For example, if you are trying to copy a video file that is bigger than 4GB in size, you will get an error stating "File too large for destination". 

How To Transfer Files Larger Than 4GB To USB Flash Drives

Before we proceed, we would like to add that you need to make changes to Flash drive's settings. Changing the system settings from "FAT 32" to "NTFS" would do the trick. Following are steps:

Step 1: Formatting is the easiest way to change the "FAT 32" settings to "NTFS". You can right-click on the drive and select the "Quick formatting" option.

Step 2: If in case, formatting doesn't do the trick, you'll need to change the settings manually. Right-click again on the drive from My Computer and select the "File System" option.

Step 3: From the "File System" option select "NTFS" and save the changes. Once this setting is applied you will be easily able to copy larger files (more than 4GB) on your USB drives.
