This is great except you need to be on the same wifi / local network. Worked with the wife for a bit, but we get annoyed having to "turn it on" when we send each other photos.

You can use something like PairDrop instead. It is open source and browser based.

Doesn't solve my problem of having to both turn on our sharing. But a nice app nonetheless

If I understood you correctly ShareDrop should fix your problem, there you can "add" someone from a different network via QR-code

I’m using it and enjoying it but I had always thought that it would also work from one device to another without Wifi.

I guess I always had Wifi😅
