is it right that both of these only work on LAN?
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
