Copy-Item command of powershell is not working for large files
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am using Copy-Item of powershell to copy files from source to destination. Below is the command which I am using.
Copy-Item -Path $fpath -Destination D:abccopy_location
$fpath being $fpath = $Event.SourceEventArgs.FullPath
While testing I found that it was able to copy small files but it wasn't able to copy large files (~300 - 400 MB). I have files max of around 400 MB which I have to copy from source to destination. I saw a post in stackoverflow - "Copy-Item fails on large file" where it said to use doubt quotes in the path ... i tried that as well but no success.
Please kindly advise what to do? The other option which I understand is to use robocopy command. The command being:
robocopy source destination file_to_copy
Here I am facing one issue my source is $fpath, but it gives me the full path upto the file. I only want the path upto the folder.

I don't get any error message... when I go to the destination folder I see that the file is not there ...I don't want to monitor its progress I just want to ensure that the file is fully written before the copy starts.
