How do you successfully transfer videos/documents/apps that are too big for external drive?

For example, if a video is 2GB, but your drive only has 1GB storage left, how does it work? - if u transfer the remaining 1GB of the video into another drive, would you still be able to reconnect the 2 parts of the video back together again somehow when editing it? Would it still play as if it was never taken apart in the first place? Would the transfer simply cancel if there wasn’t enough space? Is it similar for other types of data?

Thank you sm
