I believe this is often done to avoid corporate surveillance on the computer that might record the screenshot and exfiltration.

I think it’s usually done because copying a file from a computer to a smartphone universally is still a pain in 2023

- Bluetooth file transfer… I don’t even know where to begin

- AirDrop requires you to be in the Apple ecosystem. I think default settings also require you to be logged in the same Apple account on both devices too

- Cloud storage services need you to install the app or login into the website on both your phone and the computer with the same account. Very few of my non-tech friends even have any cloud storage service outside what their phone uses

Ngl, I take photos of my screens sometimes

Attach the file to a draft email that you save without sending. You'll find it in the draft folder on both the computer and the phone.
