I've been thinking about this problem a lot recently... Honestly, I wish we could apply a bit of political pressure to force major tech companies to implement basic device interop and file transfers.
In the year 2024 you should be able to seamlessly transfer files across devices wirelessly regardless of operating system or manufacturer.
AirDrop is pretty close to ideal, but it's limited to Apple's platform. I don't really care about any of the underlying details, I just want to have a simple way of sending files between devices without having to enable complex configurations (cough SMB, WebDAV, etc.) or tinker with anything. This could be achieved, it's not a pipe dream.
Why isn't anyone lobbying for such an essential feature that could make everyone's life slightly better?
There are no technical barriers to implementing this. There's just no political will.
Edit: I think the ideal solution would be to have some sort of spec that device and operating system vendors could implement, so that workaround stop being required at some point. Then for older devices you could build an application that implements the same functionality.
