I teach math to undergrads, and damn it's sad. They don't know how to send a PDF file from their phone to laptop, and upload it to Canvas. One guy ended up emailing it to me. They don't even know what a folder/directory is.

Honestly I use discord or email for that >.>

Windows/iPhone doesn’t seem to have a great solution as far as I’ve checked.

There's KDE Connect if they're on the same network. You could also use Dropbox or something, but honestly Discord works fine

The only problem I see with KDE Connect is that you need to pair the devices. Works great if both are yours, but probably its not something you want leave with the default settings if its shared with someone else.

Miniserve is a program for computers. Though you can run it in termux. It just opens a tiny server instance for file sharing, you can download/upload files to a directory directory. Will also show QR for the link.
