1. Use an FTP server app on the Switch.
2. Connect via FTP client (Filezilla) from PC.
3. ???

An alternative would be to use AirDroid on the switch, if the pc and the switch are on the same network :highfive:

If you dont want to setup FTP server on your computer, you can try Goodsync as well. It's a paid app for the server, but once you get it installed it's better than FTP. It uses its own file transfer protocol that can be used across the internet securely too. You have the server running on your computer, run the Goodsync app on Android, and then you can have it do auto/manual backups and transfers of files. There's also a desktop file browser app.

I use FX Fileexplorers "Web Access Mode"
Orrrr. copy them to the microSD's partitition and then utilize TWRP to move em over to /sdcard.

(USB doesn't register correctly with my pc, Bluetooth on switchroot denies file transfer...)
