How to copy a file between devices?
I am surprised to not see Jami ( http://jami.net ) mentioned here yet. It is a GNU project and is fully cross platform. I use it to send files and messages between my devices, as easy as Telegram or Whatsapp.

Have you tried any decentralized messengers?
Try Jami https://jami.net/! I'm kind of blown away by how well it works! I originally tried it about a year ago, but it was kind of a pain. My issues with it were fixed when they incorporated UnifiedPush. However, since iPhone will never have something like UnifiedPush, I wouldn't recommend it for iPhone users or people with many iPhone-using friends to convert.

Is Element/Riot (matrix.org) a suitable replacement for Whatsapp ?
It's sort of overkill if you want the WhatsApp feature list, since it's more of an alternative to Slack or Discord, but it's secure and you can use it for that, of course. Some privacy concerns have been raised about Matrix, so it's nice to be aware of it - https://gitlab.com/libremonde-org/papers/research/privacy-matrix.org
