Solus Budgie on Nemo
I tried copying a 7GB file to thumbdrive.
Nemo gave me an error message, filesize too big or something similar.
How do I transfer such big files to and from removable media?
Thank you.

as far as moving up to 5GB via Ventoy...the only time I get messages like that is when I need to empty trash.
and/or throw away what you don't need on the USB.
and the /trash or /temp crap on the USB
edit: in other words good housekeeping makes those messages go away for me. so many places to look though..
snowee this an issue with the formatting of the usb stick. I've run into this issue with fat32 partitioning. If you change it to exfat, NTFS, or ext4 you should be able to move the file with no issues. exfat will work with any os type (ie Mac), NTFS only with Linux/Windows, and ext4 with only Linux
snowee I was referring to copying > 7GB files from desktop to thumbdrive.
so was I.
those steps always work for me when I get that message. And I have an older computer.
No idea about Nemo. Does Nemo copy?
If you feel like being a stuntman I would try grsync. Not kidding. I would but I fail a lot so there's that but I really like it the idea. Think it's possible?
cp
or mv
commands in terminal all I got after that.
As already hinted, it could be the file system you are using. FAT32 for example has a 4GB file size limit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size#Maximum_size
More file systems files size limits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits
