I've managed to download a 4.86gb file off OneDrive Cloud to a Mac. Now it won't allow me to move/copy it to an external drive. If I try any Mac file it doesn't like it either. But if I copy a file off external to Mac it works.
Any ideas?

What is the external drive formatted as? If it's NTFS then you'd have to either reformat to HFS for Mac-only use or FAT for Mac/Windows.
An alternative would be to use something like Paragon NTFS for Mac - http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ - which will then allow writing to NTFS drives.

In Disk Utility, if you select the Volume itself rather than the entire HD, then right at the bottom it will say Mount Point: then under that Format: ... which I'm guessing will say Windows NT Filesystem – Tetsujin – 2014-08-19T07:33:57.800
