Homebrew Question USB hard drive-- how?

[Crimson Cuttlefish]

Any idea how I might connect a USB external hard drive to the Switch? Amazon doesn't seem to have a converter for female USB to male MicroSD. Would the USB slot on the dock work? But even if so, how would I go about handheld mode?
Thanks to anyone able to help.

If you're talking about to play actual games from an external you have to buy SX OS no way around it. You can install games from external though with Atmosphere.

Once you buy SX OS the dock works for externals or you can buy a type C to type B I believe cable to hook the external up to your switch in handheld.

well you first must buy SX OS OR you use Atmosphere with SigPatches and Goldleaf.
Goldleaf supports USB Hard Drives in the new beta build:
