RomanZ Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 myuchan, Some of the Andorids actually limit file size to 2 or 4Gb regardless of the underlying file system. Could you please collect logs on your Android device ("Send feedback", agree to send logs, put the reference to forum topic) so I can check if this is the issue indeed? Thanks!

myuchan Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks RomanZ for your reply. I have sent out the logs. I don't believe its due to the file system limitation on my android devices as i have copied files > 4gb to it with no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suntear Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I reported this months ago and it never got much attention. From what I can tell any file over 4GB will not sync to Android at all even if the external SD card is formatted exFat which supports files bigger than 4GB. My workaround was to run an FTP server on Android to transfer files larger than 4GB or use a file manager on Android that supports SMB share and copy it to external SD card. I do not think its a limitation of Android because I can copy files larger than 4GB onto the external SD card fine using another program just not BT sync. Happens on Android 4.3 and 4.4 with BT sync 1.2.x and 1.3.77/1.3.80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myuchan Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 It doesn't work for the internal phone memory as well. Not just the external sd card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Suntear, myuchan, Thanks for reporting, i've reproduced issue in my lab easily. We are working to resolve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendid2k Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Suntear, myuchan, Thanks for reporting, i've reproduced issue in my lab easily. We are working to resolve it. Any update on this? I'm experiencing exactly the same issue. It appears the 4GB limit is applied by BT sync as other apps that copy using SFTP/FTP/Samba have no issue with larger files.
