Ability to load Texture packs/Add-ons on Nintendo switch through an SD card

Most console and other editions of Bedrock edition (Xbox, Windows 10, all mobile devices) allow you to import custom add-on packs and texture packs from the web but, the switch edition of bedrock lacks this feature. and it really is a bummer because it would make the Nintendo switch version the ultimate on the go version because if it's performance and the ability to spice your survival worlds up with add-ons and texture packs. it would also help texture pack and add-on creators to see if their pack(s) work on the Nintendo switch directly without having the hassle of settings up a world on Win10/Mobile/Xbox and having their switch connect to that world to see if the content works. and most of the time, it doesn't work so, having direct access to adding the content to the switch version, would save time, and help dev's get their packs out for all platforms.

    I hope this happens so badly, because whenever I want to do that, I look up the solution and it says you need to hack and risk destroying your switch, just to download a single texture pack!

    I would love it so much!! The problem is authorization: if you had a loading folder on the SD card, it would create a security problem for the entire system, because people could load custom software that could damage the OS by interfacing with other applications or by downloading other software like an IP Grabber. Yes, it could be possible for having maybe an authorization platform on Minecraft.net but it would create an hassle to Nintendo to make a secure "tunnel" for loading files from the SD card to the internal storage, by granting security to the OS... still an idea that i would love to see in action for everyone.

    They could do it through a flash drive with a adapter instead of the SD card where all the switch's data is mostly stored

    When an external storage device is in any console edition there should be an import from external storage device option. This would bring up a menu on files to browse skins, add-ons, and maybe Resourse packs.

    Yes it’s a pain in the neck I don’t have enough space to download a 123.9mb on a 23.7gb system and wast money on a 128gb sd card to find out I can’t save my data on it. I really to play realms with friends and family but can’t.

    We need a texture pack because we need a pvp pack and a FPS boost.
    If you can do it on xbox then why not switch.
    It will be a bum if this never happens.

    Idk why but if Microsoft wanted since they have the purchases are saved to account why not upload a texture pack to that sort of feature? It would work? but persronall they need to do something.
