Do you guys actually share this much locally?
I have my local sync'd to my cloud storage and just pull it down if/when I need it. I'll just email/text people around me if they don't have airdrop compatibility.

For gifs or a funny photo or whatever, yeah I'll just text it.
I used to set up a local http server with `python -m http.server` until one of my student told me about sharedrop.io
Especially when you might want to upload from multiple devices.
One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.
You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.
Email/Text has very small files size limits so that's not an option for me.
