I have no real access to iTunes (no Macs, no software installation rights on Windows PCs) and no other AirDrop devices, so I'm stuck right now with regard to installing custom docsets.

Access to files saved by web browser on local storage

In iOS 11, Apple added a new app to iOS called Files. An app can add a folder with its name and icon to the Files app. iOS web browsers can download files to any folder in the Files app. This means that I could, without leaving my device, download a docset to the Dash folder in the Files app, open Dash, and import a custom docset with speed and ease.

File hosting service integration (iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)

It also allows access to the user's iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, and so forth accounts if they've installed the associated iOS apps. This makes it pretty easy to transfer a custom docset if you generate it yourself.

Here, the Files app shows what Dash would be able to access on my iPad. You can see locally-stored files for two apps as well as Google Drive access and iCloud Drive access in the upper left:
