Actual usable space on USB flash drive

I have a Sandisk 8GB flash drive. After deleting their proprietary crap, the free space is 7.47 GB, or 8,025,866,240 bytes. When I attempt to copy a 7.32 GB (7,867,281,408 bytes) file, it says disk full.

Any idea why? Is it because the flash drive is FAT32?

Thanks!

I thought there was a size limit on files for FAT32?

That sounds promising - so if I reformat it to NTFS it should work.

I intend on transferring this file from a PC to a Mac - but it should be ok because a Mac can still read from the NTFS file system, correct?

You could also split the file with hjsplit or RAR (you can set RAR so it doesn't compress at all)

If you want to transfer a large file, just use NTFS and reformat to FAT32 afterwards since OS X natively supports FAT32.
