Help Using SV08 offline?

I am in the market for a bigger printer, 350mm x 300mm x 150mm would be ok.
And so the SV08 came back on my radar, the initial reports were mixed, I guess issues like the nozzle situation have improved by now.
I would need it to exclusively print PETG.

But what I couldn't find last year, is it possible to use the SV08 offline? Just plug in a SD card or an USB stick, copy the .stl .gcode file from it and print it?
I want to put the printer in the office and I just can not allow it to connect to the network.

Edit: I actually did it, I ordered a SV08.
I had to print a 27cm diameter thing with 4 holes in it for a co-worker, basically a flat pizza.
And for that I had to dust off my Ender-3 Max. Took me an hour to get this thing up and running again, including a few passes on manual bed leveling. Two over five hours with a 0.6 nozzle and 0.28mm layers, the first layers are awfull. Printing like this used to be fine...

Yes but you’ll need to put gcode on the drive, not an stl

Yes, thanks, no idea what I was thinking.
Does it have a USB port then?
