Hi. I would like to know how to change the limit of space in a folder. I am new in Ubuntu Mate. I am moving all files from Windows to Ubuntu. When I was moving some video, the programme send the next titles

• There is not enough space in the destination folder. Try to remove files to make space - I have 1 TB. How I can change the capability folders. Thank you very much for your time and please help me.

I would like to know how to change the limit of space in a folder.

You most likely need to resize the partition. How much space did you give Mate when you installed it?

Another possibility is to create a data partition for your files.

Hi,

install Gparted with the followng terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t):

sudo apt-get install gparted gpart

Then take a look here:

GParted partition guide for Linux and Windows users

Linux beginners should also look here: You can only partition on an unmounted drive using an installation disk of your Linux flavour with a partitioning tool included, use the Gparted tool in live mode, or you can download a copy of Gparted from the link below and create your own Gparted disk: http://gparted.org/download.php WARNING BEFORE YOU START TO PARTITION YOUR DRIVE: MAKE SURE YOU DEFRAGMENT YOUR WINDOWS DRIVE BEFORE YOU START RESIZING THE WINDOWS PARTITION AS IT MAY WELL LEAD …

Hi V3xx, yesterday was Flisol in Buenos Aires, there people helped me to install. I see that the folder has 14 GB and the season 1 (video) is bigger. Thank you very much for your advice, I am taking many ideas from this foro.
