I have a FAT32 USB drive containing some large files. For instance, I see two files of respectively 2.72 and 2.43 GB. I still have 15+ GB free, but since upgrading to 10.13 I cannot copy a new 2.18 GB file to this drive.
The error message is "The item .. can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume's form." (translated from Dutch, but I guess you know what I mean.)
FAT32 supports files up to 4 GB and there are already bigger files on this drive. So why can't I add any new files?
Thanks
