Hi,

I have plugged my Hard disk to my Beelink from USB. How can I tranfer the files from my windows computer to Hard disk which connected to Beelink?

Install an FTP-server on Beelink and copy the files with an FTP-client running on your computer. But that won't work if your hdd is formatted NTFS, because that would mount on Beelink as read-only.

better solution is to use smb (sambadroid from google play) and file manager (ES or TotalCommander with LAN plugin)...

depending on the file size try dropbox, thats what I use to move files to my beelink and it works perfect

+1 for sambadroid.
If you share /storage then you can use that single share to access internal storage and the contents of the USB disk from your Windows PC.

To access other shares on your home network from the Beelink box, I recommend the pretty less known X-plore file manager. Everyone seems to use ES or total commander, I prefer X-plore over both.

One more tip: For copying files from a network drive to the Beelink-connected USB, there are several ways.
One, and the preferred way is to fetch the file using a file manager (X-plore anyone? :) ) running on Beelink, and access the network share there. That is a direct path.
The other, which I see more often is to use a windows PC that can access both network shares, and copy from one to the other. That way the path is first shared disk -> windows PC -> other shared disk, so the file being copied travles twice over the network. Just my 2 cents. :)
