In order to access files on your PC from Bluestacks, you have to set it up properly. Have you followed the directions shown here? http://support.bluestacks.com/hc/en-us/a...BlueStacks-
The reason you have to do this is that Bluestacks is actually emulating an Android operating system, and that operating system does not know anything about the operating system that is hosting it (i.e. Windows). Furthermore, Bluestacks dedicates a portion of your hard drive to act as the hard drive for the emulated Android operating system. This means that bluestacks can only access files from inside that little sandbox that is set aside for it. If you use a program like ES file Explorer, you can actually set up a connection to a shared network drive, and transfer files that way. This is how I transfer files off my shared network storage to all my different tablets.
