Defect or

Enhancement Number:

 
Cause: The reason why some properties of some files can’t be copied or moved from an NTFS drive to a FAT drive (FileCloud Drive will be mounted as FAT32) is the fact that the NTFS file system is capable of storing some properties (such as properties pertaining to ADS and file encryption information) that drives formatted with the FAT file system simply can’t store. 

Resolution or

Workaround:

Copying or moving a file without some of its properties from an NTFS drive to a FAT drive will simply mean that the properties that can’t be transported will be lost, but the file itself will remain intact and functional.
