I'm seeing this problem today in 14.04, when trying to copy music from
Ubuntu 14.04 to an Android phone.

  gvfsd-gphoto2 copies files to RAM (unsuitable for really large files)

Status in GVFS:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  Copy video files from my Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS with 16GB SD Card is a very hard problem.
  It uses about 1 or 2 times the file dimension that you are copying.

  I have 2GB of memory (1GB RAM + 1 GB SWAP) and I can't backup some
  videos because they are too big.

  Also copying files from the computer to a media device (camera,
  smartphone etc) is broken for the same reason.
