Windows 10: A large folder 8gb would not copy

I have a Win11 Pro. In the directory, there is a Folder 8 GB with 225 subfolders and some 7500 files. I tried to copy it to another location on the same drive, to a USB drive, and to another computer on my network. I used to drag and drop this folder and used the "Copy to Folder" command, ROBOCOPY /MIR with the same result: quite a few folders and files would not copy with error messages like "File contains properties that cannot be copied", "File name is too long", etc. Is there a way to copy the complete folder with the warts and all?

Files & Folders View as medium or large Icons

To assist you better, we would suggest that you try to follow the steps below:

• Open File Explorer.
• Once you are viewing a folder, right click an empty space within the File Explorer window and select View from the dialogue menu, then choose Large or any icon you wanted to use. Alternatively, you can use the following shortcut keys on the keyboard to
  change your View settings:

• CTRL + SHIFT + 1 Extra Large
• CTRL + SHIFT + 2 Large icons
• CTRL + SHIFT + 3 Medium Icons
• CTRL + SHIFT + 4 Small Icons
• CTRL + SHIFT + 5 List
• CTRL + SHIFT + 6 Details
• CTRL + SHIFT + 7 Tiles
• CTRL + SHIFT + 8 Content

3. Once you have the view set, you can make it the default view for

every folder.

4. Click Apply, then click OK.

Update us on the result.

 

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
