If you have a hacked Switch you can use mtp-server or ftpd. I like the MTP approach, it works just like DeckyMTP on the Steam Deck.

Classic Nintendo, making simple things like copying screenshots so complicated hacking your switch is a reasonable thing to do....

I do think there should be more easy official wireless options, but it isn't actually difficult to transfer your screenshots & video's over to a PC. All you need to do is put your microSD card in an SD card adapter, and plug it into a PC. Although that worked better back in 2017 when it released; most computers don't have SD card slots anymore.

They also make obtaining games for a reasonable price impossible, so hacking the switch is kinda necessary. And they make playing games with reasonable frame rates impossible, so emulating the Switch on a powerful PC is reasonable.

Do you know if

  1. Having switch is without hardware modification of any kind? And
  2. Can i play my "downloaded" copies of owned games on modified switch?
