Best Way to Transfer Switch Screenshots to Mac via USB?

[Norxk]

Does anyone know the easiest way to transfer screenshots from a Switch to a Mac via USB cable? I’ve tried connecting them, but my Mac doesn’t seem to recognize the Switch as a storage device. I know there’s a way to transfer via microSD, but I’d rather avoid constantly swapping the card.
Is there a specific setting I need to enable on the Switch or my Mac to make the USB method work?
Any tips or step-by-step instructions would be really helpful.
Thanks!

It looks be explained well enough here how to do this and what You must do before it will be possible.

In short, you must have everything updated to the latest versions and MacDroid must be installed and then should everything work.

I mean, how Many Screen shots do you have?

USB drives are pretty big now a days though you probably have to format it in FAT. And make sure the file format is readable by both operating systems.

If what Technorat does not work and if your other internet/forum searches do not yield results on redit, MAC forums or nintendo switch forums.

Unfortunately, the Switch doesn’t mount as a storage device when connected to a Mac via USB, so you can’t just drag and drop files like with a camera. Your best bet is to use a third-party tool that allows file transfers. Check out https://www.macdroid.app/screenshots-from-nintendo-switch-to-mac/—it makes transferring Switch screenshots to a Mac via USB a lot easier without needing to mess with microSD cards.

Oh. no I ment. USB Storage drive Separate. Download to USB drive from MAC with USB being .FAT file system. then attach that USB drive to switch. Or Vis versa.

I didn't even know you could directly connect computers or electronics with regular USB cables.
