KDE Connect should fit the bill; despite the name, you don't need to be using KDE (or Linux even) since there are clients for every major OS, even mobile.
Among many other cool features, it lets you easily and simply just send a file from one device directly to another on your local network. I use it all the time to send photos from my phone to my desktop without plugging anything in, for example.
Looks nice but I don't seem to be able to send whole folders, just individual files :/
Maybe .zip, .7z or .rar would help here?
That's too much effort to send a folder, especially as I also need to extract on the destination too.
I went with LocalSend instead, it sends folders like a charm :)
