I've used https://pairdrop.net/ before to share files between devices on the same LAN. It obviously wouldn't have to be a website, but it's pretty convenient since all my devices I wanted to share files on already have a browser.

Same use case, but I remember getting approval prompts ( though come to think of it, those were not mandated, but application specific prompts to ensure you consciously choose to share/receive items ). To your point, there are valid use cases for it, but some tightening would likely be beneficial.
