Hi all, I'm hoping someone can advice.

I'm trying to move a project from my MPC One to PC. Should be really simple right? But I'm having troubles.

Firstly I wanted to us an SD card, it's the card I've been moving stuff from PC to MPC without any issue, as far as I know works fine, and the MPC can read it.
I watched a few youtube videos for help on this as I couldn't work it out, and they all refer me to going to the 'Main' screen, where between the file name and the MIDI indicators is a 'folder' icon, which they press and it gets them the pop-up window with save as and location options.
I don't have this icon?! Its there in controller mode, but not standalone?

So next I've tried in controller mode, opened ableton, hooked the MPC up and in controller mode I don't have access to the MPC internal storage? I can find expansions and whatnot, but otherwise, no access to my own files that are on the MPC?

Where am I going wrong here? Or why don't I have the folder icon in standalone?

MPC One as I said, firmware 2.11.1.62

Thanks so much!

From standalone. Hit menu (F1) .then hit Save then you get options. Save save as program sample etc. Click save as.

Idle curiosity. Are you saving to the stock internal drive or SSD.
If SSD. When not just connect via usb3 and connect to the drive on pc/mac
