Just as I said...documents, desktop, pictures, videos, downloads,music. Do your copying one folder at a time.

Keep in mind if your files are in onedrive, copying will take a little longer than if they are located on your system drive. You can monitor how fast copying is being done by opening the folder on your external media. You'll see the files going into the folder.

Otherwise, you could try TeraCopy
I believe that the free version of TeraCopy will transfer/copy a file in use or locked file. There is a comparison chart between TeraCopy and TeraCopy Pro at the bottom of this page. Download link is at the bottom of the comparison chart


Did this not work?
