2️⃣ Move File to USB Drive

Copy the downloaded file to your USB flash drive. The path on the flash drive must be exactly as follows:

Usually, the GrandMA3 console (or onPC) creates this folder structure automatically upon the first USB connection. If it doesn't exist, simply create these folders manually.
