I think what you are looking for is a network share. You can browse files and download the ones you want
except browse files,
I create a Directory, and that directory and it's files become available to network.

So basically you want to set up an ftp server?
yeah but two way.
Two way as in "upload too" or "another share from other device"?

You mean like LocalSend, croc, Share via HTTP or ShareX?
I think I've found an app some time ago that was just setting up an HTTP file server, so you could share whole directories. But I didn't have use for it and I forgot the name
What you are looking for is local peer-to-peer file sharing. When I was studying, we used eMule, but that is for Windows and old. I don't have a concrete software suggestion, but looking around the gnutella protocol could be promising.
Edit: QuantumCogs suggestion is also good, the use cases are slightly different.
Resilio Sync
It has a selective sync option, so devices know what files are there (metadata), but only syncs them when you click on one and choose sync now.
