My system partition has 10 GB (out of 120 GB) of free space. When I create a Cryptomator vault on an external HDD with 2 TB of free space, the resulting drive also shows as having 10 GB out of 120 GB of free space, despite being located on a partition with 2 TB of free space. The Windows Explorer won't let me copy a file (or multiple files) larger than 10 GB to this vault's mapped drive as a result. Using TeraCopy to ignore the "not enough space" error doesn't work either, as the copying process stops once the 10 GB limit is reached.

Sadly this is the way Windows handles WebDAV volumes. So unfortunately there is nothing that we can do about it. This issue is also discussed in #80.

Good news is, that this is merely a display issue. You can add as much data to the vault as fits onto the "real" storage device.

hit ignore in teracopy (after downloading/installing it) - it will work
