Others told about snapdrop, sharedrop, localsend etc.
But depending on what devices you are talking about, you might do with just an http server.
I have a file manager on my (android) phone with a http server built in, and my laptop is connected to it via WiFi hotspot all the time. I just start a server on my phone and use a browser or any other download tool (curl, wget) to transfer files from my phone to my laptop.
If you have python installed, you can run an http server on any device you have (for example, a laptop) via
python -m http.server
and access your files from any other device on the same network by manually typing your local IP into a browser.
