I am running out of space on my current sd card. If I buy a bigger one, do I just archive everything on it and then redownload all the games on the new one? Seems like this will be tedious.

I redownloaded everything when I went from a 32 gb to 128 gb. Seemed the quickest route. Never bothered with the archive feature. Just went to the eshop and put what I wanted on

Yeah I think if you take out your sd card everything will appear as if it's archived anyways so you can just download everything from the home menu.

I think the saves are also on the card if you set it to be on the card so you would to copy it all over via a PC.

Stretched to the point of no turning back

Standing alone my senses reeled"
I'm actually pretty sure saves are tied directly to the system, not the SD card. That's why people wanted cloud saves so bad because you can't back up your saves manually.

For anyone wanting to post switch screenshots/videos, I just downloaded an app on Android called Swuppy. It exclusively shows the screenshots/vids you posted to Twitter through switch, and lays them out for you to easily share them or download them. I know on mobile I'm not able to directly share pictures from twitter to here, and downloading videos can be a pain sometimes.
It's a fairly new app, I found it on r/Nintendoswitch. And just because I'm talking about here, here's some random stuff I captured.

With the latest update you can now log into different Switch's and download/play your digital games. Here's how it works
- The primary console can play digital games online or offline, regardless of what profile is playing a game.
- Once you link an account, the non primary console can play the games from the primary console, but only by playing on the profile that was linked. It also requires an online connection to start playing a game. But, once you've started playing a game you can go offline.
- if the shared account is playing a game on the primary console, the secondary console cannot play a game under the same account. Unless the primary console is playing offline, or the primary console is playing a game under a different profile.
For those looking to share games with their family/partner, the best way to go about it would be to make a Nintendo account that purchases games, and use a separate account to play those games. That way the account that purchased games can be shared to a different switch and both could play any game they want, providing the non-primary system can connect online first before playing a game.
