  1. Storage Devices


    I am unable to copy and paste files from my internal storage which is full to my external storage which is not full. I have nearly 8T worth of free storage on my external storage, but I receive the message that i do not have enough space. Also, I have my external storage set as the default download location for everything but still when something is downloaded it goes to internal storage and gives me an error.

    :)
