I use Syncthing for other purposes, but I think it’s pretty complicated for a one-off transfer.
given that most people use windows, it is:
download exe
run exe
attempt to teach the other person to not be scared of the “hacker window” that popped up
exchange IDs
accept folder, find a place for it
exchangeing IDs is especially tricky if you both are in a call, and the PC does not have a messaging account that can reach you, because they live on their phones or something
Probably not basic user friendly, true, but the upside is that you set it up once and can send files all the time by just placing it in a directory, doesn’t get simpler than that.
for 1: kdeconnect or warpinator
is it right that both of these only work on LAN?
I think so, at least Warpinator. Try Syncthing, it operates on pure magic.

ok, but most of the times this would be useful I wouldn’t send another in the foreseeable future, probably even in multiple years
