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.

Mobius Sync.
Works like a charm.

Möbius Sync doesn't sync in the background; you must have the app in the foreground for it to function. So, not quite a proper substitute for Syncthing, but may work for OPs usecase.

If they're on the same network, cross platform, open source airdrop alternative https://github.com/localsend/localsend

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.

wormhole-william is just a Go implementation of Magic Wormhole; those are the two you should use, Magic Wormhole and wormhole-william.

#19wormhole is awesome, useful especially in ad-hoc scenarios. I use it often to copy files between systems when I can’t use scp (because of no relevant entries in authorized_keys.
Can I use it with my buddy on the other end and connect his machine to mine easily? Like let him slurp a file from my home machine?
Yes.

Connect both devices to the same WiFi network and use a http server like:
python -m http.server
