You would not know about this feature if you didn’t pay for Nintendo’s Switch Online service, especially since Nintendo doesn’t actually advertise it on its page for either the $20- or $50-a-year plan. But you only need to pay for the smaller edition to be able to save your progress in any game to the cloud. This frees up space on the console that normally only supports 32 GB without also grabbing a microSD card.

It’s handy since it automatically uploads your saves to the clouds in sleep mode. All the data is linked to your Nintendo account, so you can freely switch between consoles and still have access to your in-game progress.
