I don't know if anyone can help with this, but I'll throw a Hail Mary.
I have a 7G video of a play my kid was in. I'm trying to put it on the 1Tb external drive I use for photos and videos. I have over 500G of free space, but the computer (2 computers actually) keeps telling me that there is not enough space on the destination drive for the video.
What the fuck is going on?

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Re: Weird Storage Problem
The one thing that comes to mind is drive formatting. Certain formats don't allow files larger than 6GB or something like that.

This is something that is understood by the left and the right. If influence sways, clout squats, taking up space for its own sake."

Re: Weird Storage Problem
You can split the video in Windows if you don't have Premiere Pro or something.
Just use the shitty little "Movie & TV" app --> Edit --> Trim --> Save As.
