With my Android phones, I need to do some extra steps like hop into Google Photos, find the images I need, and then download them - still easy, but not as seamless as just sending what I need over.

Once I make any necessary edits, having the ability to AirDrop my images to my iMac means I can quickly rename them and drop them into WordPress.
