How do you put video files into an Apple TV Hard drive for viewing

Apple TV comes with 32 or 64 GB storage. How do you get content into it? AirDrop would be nice, but I don’t think that’s available. Can you connect it to a computer, or stick a jumó drive on it to copy files over?

Amy way to do this?

Thanks very much.

Thinking of buying an Apple Tv 4k Box Dear All, I am fairly new to Apple products. I purchased a MAC M2 Air in 2023 and love it. I currently use an Amazon Fire TV stick and it is very slow, so I want to buy an Apple TV 4k box, but I want to ask some questions, excuse me if the questions sound stupid. What is the 64GB and 128GB used for? I understand its for how many things you can download, but why exactly would you need this much memory? Can I open my Icloud Drive Mac files on the apple tv? For example, can I show my family some videos which are on my mac I cloud drive on the Apple tv box? My last question is, all my music which is in my librairy on the mac, How do I get it to show up on the Apple TV 4k box? I believe this is only on my MAC SSD right? Thank you for any support you can provide. Oh and I was told it is worth buying the 128GB tv box, but I still do not understand why would I need the memory if the films are purchased and streamed from the Apple servers?

The Apple TV is a streaming device, period. You cannot download and store content for viewing on it at all. The storage is for apps and app related data. No files of any kind can be downloaded to it.
