If you just want to move files in the old fashion way and not entire AppVM
in the sense that the AppVMs should remain in the original drive, in other
words, if you want to be able to remove the other hard drive from the
system and will useit mainly for storage of large files,

then the answers are more questions:

is your qubes system encrypted?
do you need the files to be encrypted?

If you are willing to accept common knowledge as advice, then yes, you
shall encrypt everything every time, unless there are reasons not to. For
example, encrypted disks will make data unavailable to data recovery for an
obvious reason. If the data is not sensitive and it should remain forever
recoverable, that could be a reason not to encrypt data, but that is one
exception of the above rule.

Anyway, if this is your case, it should be simple as attaching the disk
into any AppVM and running the GNOME Disks application. I'm not sure what's
the name of that in the KDE and XFCE desktops, but i know that if you call
it via terminal, it's gnome-disks.

>From there it should be straightforward, but there is this tutorial in the
Tails website if you want:
