None of the manufacturers will list the "TRUE" available space on their cards, and your files require more than their actual available space !! Angry

This issue has been brought up in a plethora of threads and several solutions have been offered. By far the most preferable would be a small OS image that can be expanded upon booting to fill out the space of the whole microSD. But if things were as simple as that (for Android/Remix, this is already possible for Ubuntu and Debian, as I understand it), it would have been done already. 

I think some have had success expanding partitions for Android and Remix via gparted on a Linux-based system, but don't quote me on that. Plus there was some issue of overlapping partitions causing further problems.

Still, all in all, better to make a 60GB image and have it fit on a '64GB' card than have to step down to the 32GB image.
