About this tag
The 'transfer blocked' tag on WindowsForum.com covers user issues where file transfers to external drives are prevented, often after formatting to NTFS or exFAT. Discussions focus on troubleshooting steps to resolve blocked transfers, including checking drive permissions, file system compatibility, and potential hardware or software restrictions. Common themes include large data transfers (e.g., photos) and external HDDs. The tag is relevant for Windows users encountering transfer failures despite correct formatting.

    Windows 10 Blocked from transferring files.

    I am trying to transfer about 7GB of data (photos) to an external hdd that holds 400GB. As per some instructions on the web I formatted the drive to NTFS and exFat nevertheless I still can't make this transfer.
