Can't copy large video files to the phone.

I noticed that when I try to upload a large video file (even if it is mp4), an error comes in the end of the copying process, saying that the file can't be copied. Any idea why this happens? Smaller video files with resolution around 1280x720 get copied successfully, however larger ones don't. Thank you and much appreciated.

If the video is larger then 4GB the SD card you use has to be formatted to exFAT. If it is formatted to FAT32 the max file size has to be smaller then 4GB. ExFAT does not have this restriction in file size.
You can format your SD card to exFAT on your PC.
