"Moving a large 40+ GB file from one drive to another? I recently added 18TB of storage and am trying to move a file from my 4TB drive to the 18TB drive, but am running into issues with the file size."

"How do I move large files from the system drive to an internal storage drive? I have many shortcuts on my desktop, and I need to change the download location to another internal drive while freeing up space on the current one..."

Is your C: drive always full? You may want to move large files between disks to free up space. You could try to copy and paste as usual, but that method may not work for particularly large files.

Therefore, we highly recommend the easiest way – using a Todo PCTrans tool to transfer large files from one drive to another. You can also check out the other three feasible methods in Part 2.

Moving Large Files Between Drives with Todo PCTrans

To optimize the transfer of large files, Todo PCTrans now features a large file cleanup tool that supports moving files larger than 20 MB to another drive (root partition and custom folders).

Want to move programs, files, and accounts to another computer or drive? Todo PCTrans is a powerful PC migration tool that can help with that, whether you want to transfer data wirelessly between two laptops, like in our guide on how to share files between two laptops using Wi-Fi in Windows 10, or do a more straightforward transfer. Let's see what it can do:

• Computer to Computer: Safely transfer data between two devices.
• App Migration: Move your applications to another disk.
• Backup and Restore: Back up your files and other data to a local or remote computer.

Step 1. Run Todo PCTrans. Choose “Large File Cleaner” and click on the “Start” button to proceed.

Step 2. Select the disk that you want to scan and click “Scan”.

Step 3. Once the scan is complete, all files larger than 20 MB will be listed. Select the ones you want to move and choose the target drive.(You can click the triangle icon to choose the destination or hit “Browse” to select the location.)

Step 4: Click the “Move” button, then check the files in the pop-up window and click “Move” again.

In addition to moving large files to another drive, the Todo PCTrans tool can also be used to transfer large files from one computer to another. You'll need to select the "PC to PC" mode and choose the desired files.

In the rest of this post, we'll survey some manual approaches to fixing this problem. All three of these approaches are feasible, but they all have significant limitations.

How to Transfer Large Files Manually

When it comes to manually transferring files from one drive to another, the following sections include copy and paste, properties, and the cloud.

1. Copy and Paste a Large File to Another Hard Drive

2. Move files between drives with attributes

3. Change the location of large files through the cloud

【1】Copying and pasting large files to another hard drive When dealing with large files, there may be times when you need to copy them to another hard drive. Here are the simple steps: 1. Locate the file or folder you want to copy. Ensure your source hard drive is connected and the file is accessible. 2. Select the file or folder by clicking and holding the left mouse button, then drag it to the desktop or another location to create a temporary copy (if needed). 3. Next, open the target hard drive. This can typically be found in "My Computer" or File Explorer. 4. Find an appropriate location to save the file and make sure you have enough space to accommodate the files. 5. Drag the temporary copy or directly from the source location to the target hard drive. If your file is large, this process might take some time. 6. Wait for the copying process to finish. You can monitor the progress using the copy progress bar in the taskbar or the status in File Explorer. 7. Once the copying is complete, check the files at the new location to ensure they are intact. 8. If the original files are no longer needed, remember to delete them from the source hard drive to free up space. Keep in mind that for very large files, you can use specialized file transfer tools like `Teracopy`, which offer advanced features such as resuming interrupted transfers and error checking.

Step 1: Open the Windows File Explorer.

Step 2: Navigate to the disk containing the large files you want to move, such as games or unnecessary programs. Right-click the file or folder and select "Copy."

Step 3: Then, right-click in another disk where you want to save the large file and select "Paste."

2. Moving Files with Attributes Across Drives

Step 1: Open File Explorer in Windows.

Step 2. Right-click on the file you want to move and select "Properties" from the options menu.

Step 3: Change the location path and click on "Move."

3. Move Large Files with the Cloud

Storing your large files in the cloud is a great way to free up space on your computer. If you're running out of room on your drives, follow these steps (using OneDrive as an example):

Step 1: Log in to your OneDrive account.

Step 2: Upload to transfer larger files.

OneDrive comes with 5 GB of free storage. If you need to upload large files, you can purchase more storage, or try a trial version of a tool.

Bottom line: Conclusion

With no time-consuming or system-harming processes, the Todo PCTrans tool can successfully transfer a large number of files from one hard drive to another. We hope this new feature will be truly helpful to you. If you have any questions, please email us.
