I think so, at least Warpinator. Try Syncthing, it operates on pure magic.

I use Syncthing for other purposes, but I think it's pretty complicated for a one-off transfer.

given that most people use windows, it is:

  • download exe
  • run exe
  • attempt to teach the other person to not be scared of the "hacker window" that popped up
  • exchange IDs
  • accept folder, find a place for it

exchangeing IDs is especially tricky if you both are in a call, and the PC does not have a messaging account that can reach you, because they live on their phones or something
