    They don’t know how to send a PDF file from their phone to laptop

    With USB cable? Because outside of that it gets complicated and/or vendor-specific quickly.

      With usb cable most of people doesn’t even know where to start. They have no idea of where the document is saved. Plugging the phone to the computer doesn’t show a “recent files” list but the whole directory hierarchy. Maybe they even used some proprietary note taking app that doesn’t create a file and they don’t realize that

      Sure, but they own their devices. They should know it. It’s a pretty regular thing to do, since most classes in my university use Canvas.

      Also, many of them had both devices from Apple. I may dislike Apple, but Airdrop should work pretty well for this.

        You’d be correct on that Airdrop assumption. I get most of Lemmy reflexively hates Apple, but Airdrop between two Apple devices you own is about as braindead simple as it’s possible to be.
