Flash drive unable to copy 4gb files
I bought the 16gb flash drive from BB that is on sale for $39.99 but when i try to copy a 4.35gb file to it windows is telling me it is full.
I have already tried formatting it again and i can transfer 800mb files to it with no issues.
Has anyone heard of this?

Alternatively you can use WinRar to split the file

It's probably formatted as FAT32 which has a file size limit of 4gigs.
