Not sure if anyone finds any work around?
But so far up till 13.1 Beta 2, iPadOS 13 Files still can't see / move any single video or file when it's over 4GB, as if it's acting like FAT.
All the 4K videos I shot on my a6400 I couldn't move them else where or download them onto Photos App, same as on an USB External Hard Drive.
So far I have to transfer videos onto iCloud Drive on a computer, then use Files App on iPad to download the file, then it works fine.
Just wondering if there's any updates smh
 
Fat32 has a file size limit of 4GB.
exFat can handle files up to 16EB (ExaBytes!), so, if you are actually using exFAT, there is no practical limit to the file size, at least with hardware available to any normal person.:cool:

ExFAT has no file limit, on both Windows and Mac. You were thinking FAT32.

Cooorrreecctttt!!!
But yeah idk why it’s still not fully supported with iPadOS yet, even SD Cards, bit surprised and kinda annoying, cuz you can’t format SD Cards to APFS for cameras, but so far apparently only APFS does not have this issue...
