I haven't had much luck with this on ios devices, everything else i have something that will work - matrix, misskey, etc. But realistically, i solved this 10 years ago or so by buying a Synology diskstation. I don't have access to it outside of the house, but that's why i run nextcloud in a DC, too. For a long while for stuff like sending drone footage to a friend while on my cellphone only i'd use syncthing, but it was very fiddly and hard to use in the winter, and i never got a "here's your link" thing, which may be fixed now. So i'd have to edit the filename and remember it, and then type the whole FQDN and URI to send someone a link. Nextcloud handles this much better. Misskey also handles this better, although i don't use it for large files. But at home, synology. There's clients for nearly everything including smart TV devices, and between computers i can use NFS or CIFS. I can even link https:// https:// download links locally. Let's just remember, folks, we had fully p2p video chat on windows, and then techbros started buying up huge portions of ipv4 because their antics were getting subnets blocked at routers, and now i've never (and i mean not one time) been able to get an open ipv6 port to accept traffic on a home device. Additionally, i barely remember what life was like without CGNAT, as i've been behind it for a decade with 3 ISPs. So i don't really care if you or your grandparents or kids can transfer files easily. use a USB stick like i do with my in-laws, neighbors, and whatnot. You did this to yourself.
