I just want to do two things, but I am really struggling to find a good way to do it. First, I need to copy files onto my internal drive on my Sony Bravia X90H (which is also called X900X or X9000H from 2020). Second, I want to sideload some APKs. For the first part: I tried plugging in an external hard drive and a USB stick, but I don't know how to copy files from them onto the internal drive. I only have tiny apks to worry about. BTW, I used to install apps on a phone before, but not on a TV. However, that was using some specific app. For the second part: Most of the apps I see on the Play Store for the TV look like they just don't actually sideload anything; they only create menus so you can list your downloaded stuff and access it more easily. That doesn't help me? I'm trying to use APK Mirror, but it won't let you connect to files coming from external devices plugged into the TV. I have a PC running Windows 11 where I could use a program to send files - anyone know one that still works and can also be installed on the TV? Please feel free to help out with some ideas. Thank you for your assistance!

There are tons of sources if you do a quick online search for that topic. Just go to Google and type in what you're looking for, like "can...bAjkgEHMTAuMjguMZgBAKABAc" or whatever the original keyword was meant to be. You'll find lots of helpful information there.
