Hello,
Following the download of a "fireplace" video (with the help of a site member), I would like to transfer the video to my USB drive to play it on my TV. But here’s the thing: the drive is 32GB (Papounet told me that 8GB would be enough, but who has more can use less...), but when I transfer, a window opens and tells me basically that there’s not enough space even though the file is only 5.65GB, that "I don't know what" isn't long enough.....!! I don't understand anything! I tried to download directly from the link to the drive, but the same result......what’s the bug?? Any ideas?
Thanks for your responses.
Have a great end of the day;

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 63.0.3239.84

    Hi,

    I think your drive is formatted in FAT32
    This format only accepts files up to 4GB maximum.

    If you want to put your movie on it, you'll need to format it to NTFS.

      Hello Pierre. Thank you for your reply. I see how the formatting works? And if I need to change it, can you explain to me how to proceed?

      You go to Computer, right-click on your USB drive, Properties, you check its format.
      If it's indeed Fat32, you exit, right-click on the USB drive, format, and you choose ntfs.

      Ah well, that's good, FAT 32. So I'm formatting to NTFS. Better one who knows than ten who search! I would have never found it on my own!! Thank you very much. Have a good evening.
