One way I can think of is:
1. put your microsd card from you go pro into your tab
2. connect your hard drive to your tab via USB OTG adapter cable
3. use the samsung "my files" app to transfer files from the sdcard to the hdd

The only thing I'm not sure about is if the tab 3 can provide enough power to your portable drive.
you may need an external power supply to power your portable drive.
