i am looking for a solution where multiple people can share files
together.
my idea is, that everyone hosts their own files, but these files
should be acessible from only one place.
for example: someone hosts a website with a gui similiar to a file
explorer, but the files are scattered between several users. if i
decide to download a file it will be downloaded via p2p from the user
that offers the file.
important is, that this should not be a sync, i only want to download
files that i've selected.

is there anything that fits my usecase?

Each person runs an SFTP server, and the "main" server run SFTPGO and
connect to all those SFTP servers as backend storage.

Depends, but if you want something really different i would go either
with gluster with geographic replication, OR centralized webdav
instance with rclone mounts all around.

https://github.com/gridsync/gridsync


Gridsync aims to provide a cross-platform, graphical user interface
for Tahoe-LAFS, the Least Authority File Store. It is intended to
simplify the Tahoe-LAFS installation and configuration process and
ultimately provide user-friendly mechanisms for common use-cases like
backing up local files, synchronizing directories between devices, and
sharing files and folders with other users across all major desktop
platforms (GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows). More broadly, Gridsync aims
to duplicate most of the core functionality provided by other,
proprietary "cloud" backup and synchronization services and utilities
(such as Dropbox and BitTorrent Sync) but without demanding any
sacrifice of the user's privacy or freedom -- and without requiring
usage or knowledge of the command line. Accordingly, Gridsync is
developed with the goal in mind of making secure cloud storage freely
available to everyone, without exception, without added barriers, and
regardless of one's operating system choice.
