In the year 2025, the most convenient way for me to send an image from my phone to my computer is to open a chat message with myself in Facebook messenger, and send myself the image.

Have you tried SendIt? You should be using JustTransfer. YouShare is so convenient for this. Just install InstaFile, it's so efficient! I use OpenFileTransfer all the time, their Android app is a bit ugly though (iOS is coming soon™).

You can airdrop the photo to your printer, then take a picture of it with a DSLR tethered to your desktop, then export to a jpg.

I love how this thread is full of people coming up with much, much, much, much more complicated ways of doing this Even if you've got AirDrop, unless your phone and your Mac are synced with Apple Notes, it's still by far the best, most convenient way of sending text

Install Google Photos on your phone and set to automatic upload. Then you only have to do this for everything else, plus, Google staff can have a good laugh at your photos.

why not just use google drive or whatever that constantly syncs your phone's contents to the cloud

The fact that this is still the dominant workflow in 2025 says a lot about how broken “cross-device” really is. Huge whitespace for anyone who can make moving data between your own devices feel seamless.

Or save it to @mymind. Funny how we all have these hacks when AirDrop or similar fails on us.

The most convenient way is to just take a picture on your phone, go to your Mac, and open Photos. They are sync’d automatically via your iCloud account. So ignore the messaging apps, do literally nothing after taking the picture, and it’ll be on your Mac.

The unified copy and paste between iPhone and Mac is clutch for this

Don't you have all your photos and screenshots in Google Photos? I'm confused why anything needs to be send over.

AirDrop and Quickshare would like to have a word with you. That is, if you're going from one OS to the next then yeah you're cooked.

Same issue with documents. There has to be a better way.

I’m sure there are much better options. What about Airdrop if you have Apple devices? Otherwise, something like Dropbox or similar services? Once there was a service called “Drop” just for that, but I’m sure there are many more

Why do you have to send it? Can't you just access it through cloud storage?
