Hi, I have an old ReadyNAS NV+ [X-RAID] and have movies files saved on it a long time ago, there are some over 4G size and I am not sure how I copied it over, I am trying to get it off to my computer or to another NAS but failed because the size is larger than 4G too big. Any ideas how I can take these 11G files off? It's also strange it's reporting the size used, as I have an near identical backup on another NAS which has taken over 1T but the Netgear NV+ tells me it has only used 406G, how can that be. Thanks

Any ideas how I can take these 11G files off? This sounds more a PC problem, not a NAS problem. Are you trying to copy the files to a drive formatted with FAT32? But you should be able to copy to another NAS. What model NAS is it, and how are you trying to do the copy?

I have tried to copy the file on the Netgear NAS to my Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit PC, the drives are formatted to NTFS, an error code pop up and when I looked up the code, it said to change the register on my PC so it can copy the files. But the registery can only be set to hex-decimal ffffffff and can only handle 4G file size I tried dragging it from one mapped NAS windows to the other mapped NAS windows but same error, the other NAS is an old Synology 1010+ too but that one I can copy a file over 4G from my PC to it and copy it back down to my pc. So not sure how I got the big files on the Netgear, just want to make a copy to the Synology.

Hi all, I have worked it out, I turn on ftp and use that to transfer the files over. Thanks

That also handles large files. Were you using file explorer before? That should also work, though it's been quite a while since I tried it.

File explorer didn't work using \\NAS_IP\shared folder to \\Synology_IP\shared folder, I have also tried robocopy GUI and didn't work, I didn't tried the command line, perhaps that might work. I could use the browser with ftp or the WS FTP client to do it now. I think if the storage usage is correct on the Netgear NV+ (X-RAID (Expandable RAID), then that is a lot more compact, only used less than half the space compared to the Synology.
