Summary

When copying or moving large files or a group of files whose total size is about 300Mb or larger, the process stops returning the error "This file has not been copied" (same for folders) (see screenshot).

The problem

From the default file manager select a large file or a group of files or folder containing files whose total size is about 300Mb or larger. Issue a copy or move command.

The copy/move process stops having copies only part of the large file or some of the smaller files.

The copy/move process should complete without errors.

Solutions

Workaround

Copy single small files in smaller groups. When handling a single large file, usually the process does not fail after cleaning up some memory (closing running processes to free up memory).
