I realize this is a dumb question, but what's a good way to do this between an iPhone and a MacBook? Airdrop is disabled (by policy), iCloud storage is full (because I'm lazy), and I use syncthing on every other device, but I haven't found a client I can use on my work iPhone.

Use Signal. If you install the desktop client Signal has a special "Note to Self" address you can use to transfer message attachments between devices.

Signal 'note to self' works. I have several nts's...medical, links only, shopping...if I think of something on one device (pc/ android for me), it's on the other within seconds.
