Somewhat relevant, I have a list of (mostly browser based + few no-setup cli) tools [1] to send files from A to B. I keep sharing this list here to fish more tools whenever something like this comes up.

I love LocalSend for quick transfers between your own devices, just werks on every OS.

One limitation of iOS is the inability to use Bluetooth to transfer an image/video file to a Bluetooth receiver such as Windows. The Apple documentation requires a wired connection. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/120267

If LocalSend is running on iOS and Windows does LocalSend have the ability to send photos?

It should work, though I haven't actually tried it. That's not a limitation of iOS, just Apple's own syncing app/protocol. LocalSend is basically an http client/server with network device discovery, as far as I know.

Yes, I use it all the time.

Both devices need to be on the same network (LAN / WiFi), however. LocalSend does not use Bluetooth.

Recently there is this project that caught my attention. The project claim to support multi different protocol, on various web browser(even IE6), and extremely easy to setup(single python file). I have not given it a try, just want to share.

same team behind dumbpipe makes sendme, which is much closer to this use case! https://github.com/n0-computer/sendme
