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.

I use Telegram to transfer (and store) a crazy lot of stuff. Unlimited storage, with file sizes limited to 2GB (or 4GB for premium users).
