File Transfer

What’s the most amount of gigs that can be transferred from my iMac to my WD My Cloud without losing connection in the middle of it?

If it is a zip file or something it’s limited by the space of the device. If it is picture files expect it to crash after about 2000 pictures.

What?  I’ve transfered 100x that.

I did disable the stupid WD indexing/thumbnail services though.
