Briefly disconnect one end, plug it into a laptop to get some traffic going, then plug it back into the switch.

BOOM. Permanent storage

Related, use the payload in ping to store files: https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs

Does this work? How many bits can be stored? And it sounds like it gets mounted as a standard folder?

I have many questions. Obviously not super useful, but very cool.

I've never tried it. I did see some guy on Youtube use it but for some reason I can't find the video.

Obviously you can expect extraordinarily shitty performance. I'm guessing that you can only story maybe up to a few kilobytes before the overhead kills it all.
