  1. Cannot transfer large file even after Space being available


    I have 2 game recordings, one of 6.84 GB and another one of 15.4 GB, which in total is 22.2 GB.
    I have a Pen-drive of 64 GB, in which a small backup for my user is made, via Windows 10 backup using File History.
    So now a space of 55.3 GB is left, but when I try to transfer the game recordings via windows 10 backup, it says File is too large to transfer for both files, even when all things are backed up and even after that a space of 55.3 GB is left on the pen-drive, and the recordings left to backup is in a total of 22.2 GB only.
    Even if I try manually, it again says the File is too large to transfer, which doesn't make any sense to me.

    I really don't want to compress the file, please help :

    :)
