Are there any apps that let you beam files from your phone to your computer or another phone? Idk what this would be called but it would make my life so much easier (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Clearly an Apple owner...

An Appl owner wouldn’t need to ask this, as iOS/macOS has AirDrop built in.

Fwiw I remember trying to get an audio file onto someone else's tablet that I had borrowed and couldn't figure out what protocol the thing understands/shares with Linux. Even after putting it on a webserver and downloading with Safari I didn't find a way of playing it with the iOS music player (iTunes probably? I don't remember). OP could very well have an Apple device if they can't figure out how to do a simple file transfer from another machine, I couldn't figure it out either
