    FAT32 = 4GB max file size. There's nothing wrong with your flash drive. You can format it in NTFS or exFAT to get around this limitation.

    You can not store files bigger than 4 GB on fat32 drives. You need to format it to exfat.

    Format in Windows to FAT32 first before plugging into your Mac.
