@pup_hime ... as it turns out yes. i'mmmm gonna guess that's the cause huh .-.;

@Nine If it's formated in FAT32 then the max file size is like 4GB, so you need to reformat it to exfat or NTFS or whatever, depending on if the target device actually supports non-FAT32 cards

@Nine
If it's formatted FAT32 it can't have files bigger than 4GB. Maybe backup everything on it and reformat the SD to NTFS?

@Nine well I was about to say "are you sure it's not a counterfeit card that claims a larger capacity than it actually has" but other people seem to have better answers

@Nine
Windows:*squints at a file*
Windows: I’m sure this is the size of an elephant somehow.

@Doggo Windows: "Time to read how big this file size is. ... uh... *squints at numbers*... uh...

...1... 2... 3... 4... what comes after 4...?.. Oh! Oh right. it goes 1 , 2 , 3, 4, TOO MANY. cool."
